    Document Preparation in Three Easy Steps
    Turning hardcopy text, images or PDFs into editable text is as easy as 1,2,3. First, you scan your document with your flatbed scanner, or open a PDF file or image document. (Readiris Pro 11 is compatible with the most commonly used images and PDF files.). Once the file is opened in the software, you click on "recognize and save," and within seconds your document is converted into and editable digital file. The final step is to export your document into you favorite application, such as Word, Excel, Acrobat (PDF), Internet Explorer (HTML), and more.

    Readiris Pro will save you incredible amounts of retyping time. The new OCR engine of Readiris Pro 11 is optimized for speed and accuracy and features over 70 new major improvements from previous versions. Not only will Readiris Pro 11 give you 30 percent greater text accuracy, the program's advanced Autoformat technology also perfectly retains the layout of the original document in the output. And most amazingly, it can perform these tasks with 126 languages. (The software's user interface is localized in 21 languages; see "System Requirements" for a list of the supported interface languages.)

    The Ideal PDF Solution
    Readiris Pro can open your PDF file (even read-only PDFs) and generate four different types of PDF files: fully searchable Image over Text, Text over Image, Text only and Image only. You can also edit your PDF into several of the supported output formats, such as Word and Excel. And when you need to scan text into a PDF file, Readiris Pro can do that as well. You can convert your incoming faxes, letters, or any paper documents into fully searchable PDF files quickly and accurately. It couldn't be any quicker or easier.

    Multi-Page Scanning Ability and More
    Readiris Pro features a convenient interval scanning mode that allows you to manually set the time interval between scans to greatly simplify the scanning process for multi-page documents on a flatbed scanner. This multi-page mode applies to both hard-copy as well as digital documents, such as such as TIFF or PDF files.

    With support for the new Microsoft formats WordML and Spreadsheet ML, Readiris lets you accurately reproduce any kind of table in your Office documents. Based on XML, the new formats generate richer editing and formatting of files that are optimized for Windows Office 2003. Your tables can be perfectly reproduced in Excel 2003, retaining the text and even the colored background. Readiris Pro even lets you digitize hand-printed notes and 23 types of barcodes, including 2-D barcodes. The information contained in your barcode is automatically retyped into your application.

    1 out of 5 stars crashes constantly   August 19, 2008

    I have a new Mac Pro with 4 Meg RAM and am using an HP LaserJet scanner to try to get a document into OCR using ReadIRIS Pro 11. I can do 1 page just fine, but if I ask it to do 2 or more pages, it crashes every time, losing all my work. I called their TechSupport and they said since I'm using Leopard that I need to get the latest TWAIN driver from HP, which I think I already had, but I re-downloaded the driver and re-installed anyway. Still doesn't work. Very frustrating to lose many hours of valuable time. Don't bother buying this terrible software.

    I have been using Readiris Pro 11 for some time now, but on a PC. I recently just switched to MAC. So of course I had to buy the corresponding Readiris Pro 11. I was weary because of the reviews that I read on here, but to my surprise it worked just fine on my MAC. There were a little bit more kinks that I had to work out, which I didnt have to worry about on my PC, but once I got through those, everything else worked great. It read my documents with a lot of accuracy and speed which is all that I really asked for. The software gets the job done.


    5 out of 5 stars My Thoughts On Readiris Pro 11 MAC   August 13, 2008

    I think that Readiris Pro 11 MAC does what it's supposed to do. I use the software to convert our company newsletter into a PDF document so I can archive it and I have not had any major problems. I agree that it is not the best MAC software, but it doesn't claim to be the best MAC software. It claims that its OCR technology is fast and accurate and from what I have found that claim is true. I haven't really explored all the other aspects of the software, but for the job that I need to get done, the software works just fine.


    1 out of 5 stars Doesn't recognize any characters!   July 28, 2008

    This didn't work at all, even with a perfectly clear pdf file of a journal article page. It got one word correct off the entire page. Luckily I had version 7.0 that came with my printer, so I didn't waste any money, just time.


    1 out of 5 stars This program is junk!   June 14, 2008

    Over the years I have bought thousands of dollars of stuff from Amazon, and have almost always been satisified. I have had to return a few items, but I have never been motivated to write a review until now. The so called "handprinting" recognition doesn't work, even on the .jpg file provided on the CD, and after a few tries even recognition of printed material produces either garbage or a blank page or crashes, in fact repeatedly. The "documentation" is incomplete, unclear, obviously written by someone not proficient in English. Technical support? Forget it! They don't reply. I'm not too upset that amazon.com will refund only half of the purchase price for returning it, as I am glad to have this albatross off my back, and it's my mistake for not reading the earlier reviews. I won't make that mistake again! F. Penalosa.
