Readiris 12 Pro for Pc Single Full

This is the most cumbersome piece of software ever, it creates far more work than it saves. 1) For every minute you spend having this program scan and recognize your document, you will spend 10 minutes reformatting or correcting the word documment it created. 2) it does not recognize slash marks, such as URL's or dates, "07/24/11." It turns anything with a slash into an italic, which means going back through the whole document and fixing anything with a slash. 3)the default recognition process involves separating every paragraph, or any non-adjacent text, into a separately formatted section - if you want the whole page formatted as it is, you have to go through additional steps to make sure that happens correctly. 4)(and most infuriating)your finished document cannot be seemlessly merged into an existing Word document - it is created in a box that is then inserted into a Word document like a graphic. This means you can't cut and paste anything from the box, the box travels as a unit, and must be formatted so that it falls in the same layer as the existing text - otherwise as you make changes to your document, you will find this text box superimposed on your existing text. More steps. 5) Inserting page breaks into your scanned document? Good luck - you may find the page you were working on has moved to the end of the document, or been layerd on another page, or disappeared entirely.Tech support is non-existent; search the website for a button that says "contact us," finally find it and the only option is to send them an email, which they of course ignore.I recently used the (free) OCR software on my printer/scanner/fax (I won't mention the name because this is not a plug for that product) and it is like heaven compared to this piece of junk - much simpler, faster and more accurate.

As an OCR (optical character recognition) program (change dots to text letters, etc.), I found it a bit lacking, clunky and less accurate than my TypeReader program. But it worked OK - just needed more time to get going and more time to edit its output.

Takes a little to get used to but works as advertised. I had older version and like the updated version.

I have been frustrated with the scanners that I owned in the past. I purchased both the Epsom V30 and the Readiris12 at same time. After reading many of the commentaries I was leary of the Readiris 12. But all of them seemed to have a down side. So far this software has out-preformed any software that I have had. Set up was a little complicated. I didn't realized there was a dropdown in the dropdown scanner setup. But this software makes your scanner work the way that a scanner is meant to work. Oh and by the way I have Vista...and it works very well.

After using many OCR products in the past to try and get rid of the mountain of documents I generate I have finally found one that works.
