    1 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE SUPPORT SYSTEM   June 12, 2007
    G. Kautz (Nebraska)
    3 out of 3 found this review helpful

    The product works - until it has a bug. The bug is theirs - not something you've done - but if you want it fixed, you'll pay a fortune for support. I've never been so frustrated in my life!

    I finally got a support tech on the phone. I had to keep asking him what he was saying because his English was poor. His answers were nothing short of ridiculous (Nuance doesn't support Windows XP platforms)??????

    I asked to speak to his supervisor THREE times but he was busy. I asked for a call back....and you guessed it, no return phone call. I can't say I was surprised. I wrote a letter (snail mail kind) to the CEO of Marketing and Support, and copied a senior board member. I doubt it will change one darn thing but it made me feel better.

    I'll never buy another Nuance product again.

    I started sometime ago with omnipage 11 or earlier. Currently I have omnipagepro 15, which I have had since Dec 2005. Recently, I could not get the product to work. It asked me for an activation key, and the keys that their software gave me were not accepted. I sent an e-mail to support and their suggestions did not work. I spent time over the telephone with technical support and finally they said that I needed to reinstall with the latest version and I received an e-mail with the information. I did as told and used the uninstall in the control panel (I am still using Windows XP) on the previous version. However, when I tried the new install it said there was a previous version and to use the uninstall in the control panel. There was nothing there left to uninstall. I tried the uninstalls in SystemSuite and SystemMechanic. I ran registry cleaners to clean any residue out of the registry and I have of course rebooted. I have given up. When I tried to send them an e-mail at technical support there was a $10 or so charge. I have had other problems with omnipage that seem to be unique to them. For example, pdfconverter3 (or whatever its name is) would not uninstall competely. I have never ever seen anything like that. So now I am giving up on Nuance/Omnipage. I would tell them, but it would cost me.

    My only reccomendation would be a better user interface, it can be a bit confusing. The underlying functions work well though.


    1 out of 5 stars Avoid this product unless you have money to waste!   May 29, 2006

    9 out of 9 found this review helpful

    After purchasing this product, I found there were several problems with scanning. I contacted Nuance (who purchased ScanSoft) to ask for assistance from Technical Support. However, I then learned they want $9.95 for each incident when a request is made by email. Not by phone - by email. After putting out a great deal of money for this product, I should not have to pay $9.95 for assistance with each issue that is a problem with their product. Save yourself a great deal of grief and avoid this product. I regret that Amazon does not allow me to give this product "0" stars.


    4 out of 5 stars FormTyper feature is Amazing!   May 3, 2006
    kirby thaler (florida)
    6 out of 6 found this review helpful

    My legal ofice bought this product specifically for making unfillable PDF forms fillable. This feature works much better than we expected. I anticipated we would have to do a lot of clean-up to make the forms useable. That is not the case. About 80% of the forms we run through it come out perfectly. It seems to have trouble with forms that are really crowded with fields or have embedded fonts that we don't have access to. Designing fillable forms from scratch used to take us hours for a simple form. I could see most of the forms we use taking 6-8 hours each. Running it through the FormTyper takes a few seconds. The amount of time we save on this one task is tremendous. We have also begin using the OCR capabilites to create digitial documents from our paper files. The OCR seems to work really well, even with multi-generation copies. We are very pleased with the performance of this product.
