OCR Conversion from PDF, TIFF, JPG... to microsoft office formats

You can use OCR software to convert electronic documents to another electronic format. This is most notably useful with images of text contained in PDF files, or in JPG or TIFF formats. With the emergence of the new 2007 package, there is also need for Microsoft office conversion, and XPS file conversion. XPS is the new format by Microsoft, akin to PDF. So with OCR Software, you can translate from one format into another – making your work a lot easier.

Just a few examples of the conversions you can make with OCR conversion software:

  • TIFF, JPG, JPEG to word conversion
  • PDF to excel conversion
  • XPS to PDF conversion
  • etc.

OCR Conversion with OmniPage 17

OmniPage 17 is not only a paper-to-digital conversion application; it also allows you unlock the information that is trapped in static image and PDF files. Using OmniPage you can convert almost all image formats into editable files for your existing PC applications, including Microsoft Word and Excel. Better still, OmniPage can be used to convert a document from one format to another (TIF to PDF for example,) and to make static image documents searchable on your PC and within content management applications.

Form Recognition and Export

OmniPage now uses Logical Form Recognition™ technology to process forms. Bring both paper and electronic forms (distributed mainly as PDF files in an office environment) into OmniPage, recognize them and edit their content, layout or both - in True Page view and produce a fillable form that can be saved in the following formats: PDF, RTF, HTML or XSN (Microsoft Office InfoPath format).

Digital-to-Digital Document Conversion

A major new feature of OmniPage is that it can open not only image files, but also documents created in word-processing and similar applications. Supported file types include: .doc, .xls, .ppt, .rtf, .wpd and others.

Text, Tables and Graphics

Most people think of OCR as simply a way to extract text and spreadsheet data from existing documents. Because OmniPage has advanced page segmentation capabilities, it is also a powerful way to re-use pictures, clip-art, graphics and charts within documents. Simply zone-over the area you want to extract, and OmniPage will let you save the content of that area in a wide range of image formats.

Image Format Conversion

Images of scanned documents contain a "picture" of the document, which can be viewed but not edited or searched. OmniPage converts static images into documents that can be edited and searched. Support for converting all popular image formats includes: TIF, JPG, BMP, PCX, GIF, PDF, MAX and more.
