Review title: Layout Retention is poor at best, hard to use
Product review: This is not a planted review. I'm just a home user. I have been using OmniPage for years. The last version I used prior to OmniPage Pro 14 was OmniPage Pro 10.This version does the worst job of layout retention I have seen in any OCR software period. Version 10, the version I was using prior to upgrading worked much better.Its hard to use, menus and features appear easy but in fact don't work very well at all. The system of "workflows" is flawed at best.If you just want to take a simple text document with images and scan it into say word be prepared for a nightmare once in word. The result of your scan will retain very little of the layout of your original document.ScanSoft makes some very fine products that I use. Oddly their "flayship" software OmniPage is difficult to use and performs poorly. Do yourself a favor and look at other OCR software before buying this.
