OmniPage by Nuance is arguably the world's best OCR software. It's the easiest to use, it's powerful, and not to mention, extremely accurate. Here are some of the features of Nuance's newest version,
OmniPage 16.
- Convert hundreds of original paper documents into documents that can be edited on your PC
- 99% character recognition accuracy
- Perfect formatting--you're scanned documents look like the original!
- Capture text from a digital photo
I highly recommend this for students, home office, and small business users. Anyone can use this.

My Review
Out of all the other OCR software solutions available,
OmniPage 16 is by far the most flexible, easiest, and most powerful to use. I most love the fact that when I scan a document in OmniPage retains all of my original document's formatting. Plus, it's only $149.
My only complaint is the fact that the software can't be used on both PCs and Macs. I would have to get the Mac version of OmniPage in order to do this.
