User Reviews about Readiris Pro 11

Recently I needed to convert a magazine article to Microsoft Word. I used 4 programs, Adobe 9, OmniPage 17, PaperPort 12, and Read I.R.I.S. Pro 12. Read I.R.I.S. did the most accurate conversion. Adobe 9 did a good job converting to PDF but the MS Word rendering was not a good as Read I.R.I.S. When converting other material I test with these four programs and the best performer is not always the same. It depends upon the nature and the quality of the source.
-- Comparative Results

I am 70 and not very fast at learning complex things. All I wanted was a way of scanning text files, like Tables of Contents of music books, in order to put them into an Excel file for searching. I can scan them into Word, but I get the editable text in a frame that I can not transfer to Excel. The clue must be in the manual. I will keep looking.
Such a project used to be simple, but today's software programs are too complex. -- Just trying to help

Delivery was tediously slow (approx 10 days). Control formats are functionally simplistic and almost misleading as to their impact on the scanned image text content. Product might have a value equivalent to the reduced price but most certainly not that of the original retail pricetag. -- Mediocre in all respects
