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. /ex
