 There are several OCR applications 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 applications
cost about $100 while
others cost $500.
 The main features that differentiate OCR applications are:
- 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, and
SimpleOCR and have
determined that ABBYY
FineReader is the best overall value for business users, while
ReadIRIS is the best
solution for under $150.
The key deciding factors were:
- User interface design
- Page layout reconstruction capabilities
- Extensive language support
- Stability of the engine when processing large documents
- Quality and availability of technical support
Though other testing labs have ranked OmniPage's overall accuracy slightly
higher, we find the difference is pretty negligible. All modern OCR
applications have very good accuracy, so we recommend going with the one that has
particular special features like ABBYY FineReader's screenshot reader or ReadIRIS's CardIRIS included in the Corporate version.
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 OCR 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.

ABBYY FineReader PDF 15
Standard - FineReader Standard is
a highly
accurate and easy to use OCR application that includes host of features
including digital camera OCR, intelligent document layouts, image
enhancement, barcode recognition and command line integration.
FineReader PDF 15 is our pick for desktop OCR because its document layout
retention will save you much time in reformatting documents you convert
for editing.
ABBYY FineReader PDF
Corporate - FineReader PDF Corporate Edition offers unique
concurrent licensing that makes it possible for many users who need
occasional use of OCR to share a small
pool of active licenses. With accuracy comparable to OmniPage,
superior technical support services and
a user interface that many users find preferable, we think FineReader PDF
Corporate is
the best choice of OCR software for business.
CVision PDF Compressor Desktop
PdfCompressor Desktop Edition (OCR) is a more economical version of PdfCompressor Professional
(OCR), designed for lower-volume users. This version requires files to be processed individually and files
must not exceed 100 pages. An excellent choice for someone who needs the power, but not the volume.
IRIS
ReadIRIS Pro 16 - Affordable OCR solution for business
 and home users.
ReadIRIS Pro provides a extremely accurate OCR recognition rate at a low
cost, but still has some of the advanced features that higher priced
professional OCR software includes.
IRIS ReadIRIS Corporate 16 - Adds support for files over 50
pages, business card recognition, as well as automatic processing of hot
folders.
 Kofax
OmniPage Ultimate - OmniPage is widely considered the fastest,
most accurate and fully featured OCR application.
OmniPage Ultimate has a unique new feature that lets you convert
any type of document to searchable PDF or Word.
OmniPage does not have a downloadable demo. Kofax also does not provide free technical
support after the first call. For these reasons we recommend the ABBYY and
IRIS products instead.
CVision PDF Compressor Professional
PdfCompressor produces the most efficient image documents possible for high volume scanning
environments by combining highly accurate OCR, advanced file compression, and batch PDF
conversion. PdfCompressor can compress scans by a factor of 10-100, enabling documents to be stored,
transmitted, accessed, and hosted more efficiently and less expensively.

IRISDocument Server - IRISDocument
Server is a lower cost solution
compared to
 recognition server, but lacks some of the more advanced
features and has slightly lower accuracy. Several versions are
available with varying monthly page processing limitations, letting you
scale your solution to meet your budget requirements.
Asian,
Arabic and
Hebrew language packs
are also available.
