“I have been using Type Reader for a little over a month with extreme satisfaction. The first test out of the box, I wanted to revise our wills which were 14 page documents. The OCR had 2 spelling errors (proper names) in the 14 pages and kept all for-matting in tact. It’s fast, accurate and defines a new dimension in OCR technology for others to follow. OCR has been around for many years and with each generation the accuracy and speed improves. This is a great product which I can recommend to anyone interested in OCR technology.” |

| “Only TypeReader Professional 3.0XA excelled at recognizing
text on all our difficult pages (among TextBridge 3.0, WordScan Plus
4.0, OmniPage Pro 6.0 and CharacterEyes Pro 2.51). It was the most
accurate with the crooked page, the multicolumn magazine article,
and the spreadsheet. It also acquitted itself well with the four-column
magazine article if you exclude the mistakes caused by trying to apply
OCR to an image. Equally important, it was the fastest in the group
and did a better-than-average job of preserving character formatting...overall
TypeReader Professional 3.0XA provided the most accurate recognition
of all the program...TypeReader Professional scanned and recognized
our complex document in 34 seconds--almost half the average speed...it

“You can scan in articles, letters and news stories and store
them as editable text files. A program like TypeReader can do an extremely
impressive job of recognizing...we tested TypeReader on a page from
MacFormat. The page contained three columns, margin notes and a boxout.
Set to automatic, TypeReader did a pretty good job overall...TypeReader
Pro didn’t make manual recognition mistakes, performing very
well...What makes editing easier still is that you can use the [tab]
key to jump from one suspect word to the next. Each time you jump.
TypeReader will display the appropriate section of the source image
alongside, so you can see how the original looked without having to
hunt for it...TypeReader's final trick is that it can output files
as plain text and also lay them out in the same design as the original...We
prefer TypeReader Pro (compared to TextBridge Pro) for both its recognition
accuracy and its useful editing facilities...TypeReader’s editing
and correction facilities are exemplary...”

“If you want an OCR program that works, is easy to use and
has a simple no brainer interface then what you want is TypeReader
Pro from ExperVision., TypeReader Pro is the best OCR package I have
ever used and is the official OCR software of PC-Review.... New version
4.0 is even more accurate... It also does an outstanding job of maintaining
the documents original layout and format... Also, new to TypeReader
Pro 4.0 is TypeReader EZ, TypeReader Imaging, and TypeReader Manager.
These three programs make capturing, converting and managing documents
a snap... Without a doubt TypeReader Pro 4.0 is the best OCR software
on the market. It is fast accurate and it is easy to use. The way
you proof your recognized text is simple and elegant... This is the

| “ExperVision’s TypeReader (in comparison to OmniPage
8.0, TextBridge Pro, and NureoTalker) was the fastest OCR software.
Most pages were processed in 10 seconds or less. Many were processed
in less than five seconds. It had an excellent user interface...TypeReader
did a good job maintaining all of the document formatting...TypeReader,
ExperVision’s OCR engine, was very accurate and was the fastest
in our tests. Its user interface was easy to use” |

“Since about 1994, TypeReader had been announcing its accuracy
and speed superiority over OmniPage. This primarily was based on a
competition with its version 2.”,“ . . . but now 5.0 has
gone beyond that to produce an even better product that is comfortable
to use with extra helpings of speed and accuracy plus renewed international
language support. With the recapture of the last characteristic, ExperVision
again is more than worthy for placing on the multi-national Corporate
and academic shelf.”

| “TypeReader Professional not only scans pages of text far
faster than any application I have ever seen, but does so with an
uncanny accuracy; I myself am likely to make in the region of double
the number of errors that this software produces. … OCR software
has come a long way in a fairly short time, and this product proves
it. We tested it on a large number of different documents, styles,
fonts, formats and even faxes, and it passed with flying colors. For
any user wishing to transfer documents and/or faxes from paper to
their PC, this software surely has to be the best way of doing so.
It is also one of the highest-standards of software that we have ever
come across.” |
