Optical Character Recognition Software Comparison Guide

There are several Optical Character Recognition Software solutions available to convert scanned images to text, Word, HTML or searchable PDF.  The differences between them can often be obscure, leaving many to wonder why some Optical Character Recognition Software cost about $100 while others cost $500.

The main features that differentiate Optical Character Recognition Software are:

Nuance Optical Character Recognition SoftwareABBYY Optical Character Recognition SoftwareIRIS Optical Character Recognition Software
  • Character recognition accuracy
  • Page layout reconstruction accuracy
  • Multi-engine voting technology
  • Support for languages
  • Support for searchable PDF output
  • Speed
  • User interface

We have tested the latest versions of FineReader, OmniPage, ReadIRIS, TextBridge and SimpleOCR and have determined that ABBYY FineReader 9 is the best overall value for business users, while ReadIRIS is the best Optical Character Recognition Software for under $150.  The key deciding factors were:FineReader 10 OCR Optical Character Recognition

  • User interface design
  • Page layout reconstruction capabilities
  • Extensive language support
  • Stability of the engine when processing large documents
  • Helpful (and free!) technical support staff

Though other testing labs have ranked OmniPage's overall accuracy slightly higher, we find the difference is pretty negligible.  All modern Optical Character Recognition Software have very good accuracy, so we recommend going with the one that has particular special features like IRIS's Arabic and Hebrew and Asian Language versions.

Because of the infinite combinations of document types, OCR engines and settings, it may be possible that one engine may perform better with your particular documents than another.  For this reason, ScanStore provides demo downloads for all its Optical Character Recognition Software with your ScanStore User Account.  Because of this variability and the subjectivity of user interface preferences, we recommend using the demos to see which performs best with your documents.
