#READIRIS PRO 15 REVIEW PRO#
These quibbles aside, there can be little arguing with the blend of value and features offered by Readiris Pro 10. You also need to remember to click on ‘Append dictionary’ to keep the dictionary from losing everything you’ve taught it. The fact that Readiris doesn’t automatically save your settings is also unintuitive and gives the software a clunky, unfriendly feel. This makes the wizard mode something of a lost cause, as it robs you of the opportunity to correct the auto-zone mistakes. The auto-zoner is correct most of the time, but it still gets confused when confronted with images including lots of straight lines (such as screenshots of Windows). Readiris 10 isn’t completely without its frustrations, however. You can also scan a document and save it as an HTML file.
You can scan tables into Excel or PowerPoint, and Readiris is the only package here that supports OpenOffice Writer versions 1 and 1.1. However, skewed and lower-resolution documents brought the accuracy rate down: lowercase As became Os, and double Ts were mistaken for double Ls.īut the program isn’t just compatible with Word. It’s no reason not to run a spellcheck, though, particularly when dealing with pages that are folded or bent downwards near the edges, but we were pleased with the overall quality of the recognition when scanning the magazine page, for instance, it more than matched IRIS’s quote of 99 per cent accuracy from scanned sources. Recognising printed documents and PDFs was nearly flawless at 300ppi.
#READIRIS PRO 15 REVIEW PDF#
Scanning a 30-page PDF with a variety of column formats, images and tables took a reasonable four minutes, 41 seconds, plus two-and-a-half minutes to recognise the document. The ability to convert an image or paper document to a searchable but uneditable PDF will be all that’s needed for archivers, but the ability to turn a PDF into an editable document is a real advantage for everyone else. The PDF features of Readiris will be useful for anyone who publishes or archives electronic material. Each time it comes across that pattern, it knows what to do. Check Interactive Learning in the Learn menu and, each time the software comes across a word or figure it doesn’t understand, it will ask you to look at the image and its best guess you’re then free to either OK the guess or enter your own interpretation. With Readiris Pro, youll never have to tediously re-type content ever again - just scan your paper document into Readiris Pro, and the application. The learning features of Readiris continue to the more standard page-recognition technology.
