Best photo scanner software

Scan in your pictures and create digital albums. Important here is the quality of your scanner, to create high resolution images. Also important is the quality of the scanning software. Take a look at the photo scanning and other features of OmniPage.

Photo scanners to print from old photos are the perfect way to make sure you never lose another memory again! Take all those old picture books, scan in the pics, store them for easy access and make online albums that you can share around the world instantly!

Photo scanning implies that you use your digital camera to capture images of text, then turn it into editable text with letter recognition. Advanced OCR technology, like OmniPage 17 ’s 3DC Technology, can automatically correct three-dimensional distortion to ensure the best OCR results possible.

Point and shoot digital cameras are becoming smaller and more powerful every day. They can be carried in a pocket, handbag or briefcase. They’re fast, mobile and produce high quality images perfect for capturing people, places and things that interest us. We use them for fun and for business.

And now you can use them to take pictures of text documents and turn them into electronic documents you can edit. It opens up a whole world of information trapped in the physical world – not just the paper world.

It’s perfect for mobile professionals, students and even secret agents. All kidding aside, there is a real need to get technology to work harder and smarter so we can save valuable time and money. That goes for digital cameras as well. And why not use them to capture text if it really worked?

Using a digital camera image for text capture hasn’t really been successful because optical character recognition (OCR) is fundamentally a two dimensional technology trying to recognize text on a three dimensional object. A scanner produces a nice flat (two dimensional) image of a piece of paper. A photograph captures objects that aren’t usually flat at all. This introduces all kinds of distortion that makes it difficult for optical OCR to work with the kind of accuracy we expect.

Now it’s true that you can be really, really careful to hold a camera just right, directly over a perfectly flat document, on a perfectly flat surface to produce the look of a two dimensional piece of paper. Who has time for that? And what if you want to take a picture of something that’s not perfectly flat like a book or the writing on an actual object? Part of the allure of using a digital camera is that you don’t have to squeeze something onto a scanner; never mind carrying a scanner around with you in the first place.

When you’’re on the go and need to capture text from a book, magazine, presentation, or something like an outdoor sign that could never fit through your scanner, you can now use your digital camera. Innovative new 3DC technology automatically adjusts for skew, waves and 3-D perspective. The results are up to 74% more accurate! So go ahead and grab your camera – with OmniPage 17, it’s both easy and accurate to click, capture and convert text without a scanner!
