OmniPage Pro X for Macintosh is the most powerful recognition software ever released for Macintosh. It combines the power of two redeveloped engines, using new technologies to share and compare recognition results. This new foundation of technology delivers results that are 40% better than previous Macintosh versions and nearly 50% better than competitive products.

OmniPage Pro extends its recognition capabilities to 59 recognized languages. Improved grayscale performance allows it to create acceptable results on pages so degraded or faded they would have previously been described as unsuitable as sources for OCR processing.

Character vs. Word Accuracy

What is the difference between character and word accuracy? Which measurement should be used when reviewing OCR software? Character accuracy quantifies the OCR application's ability to accurately recognize and convert the characters of a scanned image into editable text. OCR software's character accuracy can be calculated by adding up the number of incorrectly recognized (and missing) characters on a recognized page and dividing that number by the total number of characters on the original page.

Word accuracy quantifies the OCR application's ability to accurately recognize and convert the words of a scanned image into editable text. OCR software's word accuracy can be calculated by adding up the number of incorrectly recognized words (and missing words) on a page and dividing that number by the total number of words on the original page. Both character and word accuracy results are normally expressed as percentages, showing two decimal places (i.e. 99.21%).

The Best Measure of Accuracy?

The best measurement of OCR accuracy is word accuracy. It takes the same amount of time to correct any combination of incorrect characters within a word as it does to simply correct the entire word itself.

Compared to the OCR used even a year ago, accuracy has come a long way. The capability to recognize various font types, sizes and quality has improved dramatically. The more accurate the OCR software, the more time is saved since there is less post recognition editing needed.
