How to Use OmniPage Ultimate
Key Features in OmniPage Ultimate
In a quest to help individuals, small and large businesses accurately digitize images and scans, OmniPage Ultimate delivers a ton of options that gear you towards that editable and searchable document you have been looking for. Here are the most outstanding features;
Deliver Searchable Documents
Unless you retype content, data from scanned PDFs or images can prove quite a hassle to reuse. Luckily, this is only a short-lived hurdle when OmniPage Ultimate comes into play. Using the specially designed eDiscovery Assistant feature, individual or multiple PDFs can be converted into searchable documents at the click of a button. From there, it is just a matter of copy-and-paste to use the text data.
High Accuracy
The superiority of an OCR is defined by how accurate the recognition is. OmniPage has invested greatly into the delivery of accurate results no matter how complex a PDF is. Amazingly, this tool strives to greatly improve the document layout before letting you export the output to your preferred format.
Batch Processing
In a business setting, the quantity of documents to OCR is usually large. Of course, processing one document after another proves to be not only tedious but also overly time-consuming.
To help with this, OmniPage Ultimate allows for the processing of multiple PDFs all at once, thereby reducing the time and effort it would have taken. Even better, it is possible to schedule batch processes, from emails or normal folders, and enjoy real-time OCR thanks to the implementation of unattended automation.
Lots of Recognition Languages
OmniPage Ultimate, a Kofax craft, lets you OCR documents from almost every corner of the world. To be specific, you are opened up to over 120 OCR languages that make it quite easy to edit, process, and store documents no matter the language. By matching the document language and the OCR language, the accuracy levels are boosted further.
Integrates Scanners
If your PDFs are coming from a scanner, OmniPage Ultimate lets you OCR the images or PDF files, directly from that specific scanner. The best thing is that a wide range of scanners is supported including desktop, mobile scanners, besides multi-functions and all-in-one printers. Reducing the number of steps to obtain editable output equivalent goes a long way to save a ton of time to the overall workflow.
OmniPage Launchpad
This is another special feature that helps you to OCR any format regardless of where you are on the network. With this feature, you can conveniently archive and use any device to access the documents. The idea here is that you can perform OCR tasks while on the go without being restricted to a desktop.
As a bonus, Kofax OmniPage Ultimate also lets you instantly OCR pictures into text, whether from a smartphone or a digital camera. Amazingly, you also get the chance to proofread the output text. How else does it get better than this?
