After sending several hours with the OmniPage Pro X settings , I have come to the conclusion that OmniPage Pro X is garbage. 😡

The OCR component of the software is a totally broken.

I have scanned several simple plain paper documents and the OCR turns the written text into unreadable gibberish. I have tweaked the settings and nothing seem to make it work.

To see whether or not it's the scanner or the software that was causing it, I installed OmniPage Pro 16 under Windows XP in Fusion and Parallels and the documents turns out perfect.

Macs may have a superior OS and design, but the third party software is less than desired.

That's a bit of a generalization, eh? Just because your specific software title isn't better, doesn't make it a system-wide phenomenon.

Does Apple make CS3?
