Omnipage Professional is their current top of the line product. Omnipage Direct
is a stripped down version that works from within programs like Word etc. It
comes with some less than great scanning software. Go for the Professional
version if you are serious. The type of scanner you have makes a big difference
in both accuracy and speed. I recently saw a PC World (I think it was that
magazine) review of a variety of OCR software run on a variety of scanners. The
top performers were the HP and the Umax. Both these scanners come equiped to
run with Macs. Unfortunately, we still dont have the right drivers to run
Omnipage Pro with our HP Scanner, so I cant tell you how great it is. We are
still limping along with Omnipage Direct.
