The OmniPage OCR software package has received lots of good press on the net recently. Our local vendor of scanners told me they had never heard of OmniPage, presumably because they were so happy with another OCR program: TextScan by New Image Technology (apologies if there are any mistakes here). It is bundled with their MacScan scanner. Is there anyone with experience with both who would be prepared to comment on their relative merits? I should also be interested in hearing how these programs cope with Greek letters, italics, and sub- and superscripts embedded in text. Do mathematical equations, line or display, interfere with the procedure?
