After a bewildering array of Catch22s, gotchas, and circular phone options I finally got to a tech support person who solved my problem. Trying to upgrade a Canon scanner bundled Omnipage SE2 to a VISTA compatible SE4. The bundled version kills IE7. from Amazon.com Altough this product has many options that I'll probably never use, I had received a number of printed documents from our finance department that I needed to change and use in a presentation. Rather than retyping and recreating the whole thing (would have taken me several hours) I scanned and OCR with OmniPage and saved in Excel. So I started to edit in less than 10 minutes... from Amazon.com I bought a scanner, which came with free ScanSoft software. I spent hours scanning a hundred page document. Then along came an upgrade offer - buy OmniPage 16 Pro (the continuation of the ScanSoft heritage). So I did. from Amazon.com I had been using Omnipage 10 and purchased Omnipage 14 from an Amazon seller. There are supposedly some updates to this product, but Omnipage 14 will not connect with their servers to update and there is no other way to update. from Amazon.com I have been a long time user of OmniPage, going way back to version 4. I have regularly updated every 2 years or so, often enjoying the speed or work flow improvements. from Amazon.com I have been using Omnipage 14 for about 2 years. When 15 came out, I had my company purchase the upgrade (14 was good but could use some better features). from Amazon.com I have used 14 for a number of years. I upgraded to 16 through their phone promotion. I had problems right off and tried to get support. from Amazon.com (In my defense, I seldom buy specialty software like this, so I'm a bit of a neophyte). I will NEVER do this again. FYI - Currently I'm running Win2K, SP4, but have plans to upgrade to XP. I can only pray these problems will go away at that point. from Amazon.com I purchased Omnipage to convert scanned image-only PDF's into image-text PDF's. Every PDF comes through in horrible resolution. from Amazon.com I purchased this software as one component of a home electronic document management system---an autofeeding/duplexing document scanner, a 1TB hard drive to hold the scans, a decent shredder to dispose of papers once they were scanned, and OmniPage 16 to convert the scans from "image-type" PDFs to "searchable-type" PDFs. My goal was to finally stop filing in a filing cabinet all of the many papers I need to keep---credit card statements, receipts, etc.---and instead capture electronic scans of them then shredding the originals. from Amazon.com
