Welcome New Features in OmniPage Ultimate 3
• DocuDirect: This is a powerful workflow management tool – previously known as the
Batch Manager. Technical improvements make large-scale processing more robust, with
better reporting and separation of problematic documents and improved recovery from
critical situations. Differing default settings for Workflow Assistant and DocuDirect are
introduced to better match their purposes.
See “At a later time” on page 23.
• Make PDF file searchable: A new workflow step is available inside DocuDirect. Input
is a set of PDF files of any flavor. This step discovers image-only parts or pages, runs
OCR and adds the text to the PDF, leaving notes and annotations intact. This
functionality exists in the ‘eDiscovery Assistant for searchable PDF’, but is now
available for a job, allowing for timed, recurring and unattended job running, plus the
use of watched folders.
See “eDiscovery Assistant for searchable PDF” on page 63.
• Electronic book support: The widely-used ePub file type is now supported with three
output converter choices. Export your scanned documents or image files to your favorite
portable devices. This augments the existing ability to save texts to Amazon’s Kindle
book reader.
See “Sending to eBook Readers” on page 64.
• Augmented audio support: The premium speech product Nuance Vocalizer Expressive
is supplied with OmniPage. It provides support for exporting to mp3 files in English,
French and German – listen to your documents on the go! The existing Nuance
RealSpeak Solo remains available with language support boosted from 9 to 14
(Japanese, Polish, Russian, Turkish and Australian English). It allows recognized texts
to be read aloud, and also provides for saving to mp3 files.
See “Reading Text Aloud” on
page 54.
• Automated handling of digital camera images: OmniPage now detects whether an
image came from a digital camera by reading the EXIF-data that digital cameras
generate. The auto-deskew option can be turned on or off. If it is on, the program applies
2D or 3D deskewing (for normal or camera images). Resolution enhancement and the
straightening of text lines are applied to images coming from a digital camera.
See
“Input from digital camera” on page 26.
• Support for Windows 8 and Office 2013: Support for Windows 8 and Office 2013.
OmniPage Ultimate runs with this latest operating system and its applications. The
updated PDF Create product (version 8) supplied with OmniPage is also Windows 8
compliant.
