for export into Lotus and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet formats.” |

was its formatting panache. ... But no program does the job better
or quicker than TypeReader.” |

| “It (TypeReader) retains character style variations including
underline, superscript, subscript, bold and italic. It also maintains
column information including margins indents, tabs, line spacing,
line breaks, and justification on a paragraph by paragraph basis.
It can then output the text to a wide variety of word processor and
spreadsheet applications.” |

tables, and retain embedded graphics extends the usefulness of this
product (TypeReader Professional).” |

“The recommendations: ExperVision for technical publications,
manuals and complex documents with chapter subheadings where the page
format needs to be maintained.” |

| “(TypeReader Professional) did a better-than-average job of
preserving character formatting (among TextBridge Pro 3.0, OmniPage
Pro 6.0 and WordScan Plus 4.0). |

“(TypeReader Professional 3.0XA) is one of the best OCR programs
we have tested...TypeReader Professional also handled different size
fonts and different type styles (Bold, italics, etc.) with no complications.
Columns, tables and charts all appeared exactly as they had in the
original document. We found ourselves trying to trick the program
but we were unsuccessful.” |
Simply Speaking |
| |
| “TypeReader gives the user total flexibility in how much of
the original documents formatting should be transferred to the output
file...TypeReader’s manual zoning procedure offers the best
of all worlds. It automatically creates the zones it lets the user
alter or resize them. This saves a lot of time over TextBridge and
OmniPage, which only offer the automatic or manual zoning...TypeReader
was almost perfect from the outset...Thanks to its proper understanding
of the page size used in the test, TypeReader produced an output document
that could almost have been a photocopy of the original... TypeReader
immediately understood the document layout and recreated it near perfectly...The
test results allow only one winner: TypeReader. It was the best program
in three of the five test and a second close in the remaining two.
The test results can’t mention some of TypeReader’s other
advantages, the most important of which is that it has no training
mode. All of its results were achieved on the first and only look
at the document. This wins it many plaudits in the ease of use category.” |

| “Another quite unique feature (of TypeReader) is the programs
ability to maintain the documents layout and structure - including
columns, different fonts, position on page and more. This allows you
to retain the design of the scanned information, as well as the actual
content itself. In addition to this, we found the software to be excellent
at 'receiving' information from poorer-quality images such as faxes
sent directly to our test PC.” |
