Who has not, the program can save money (see text)

And I was often disappointed because of the added value often bore no relation to the upgrade price and it is actually a question of mere updates that spend other manufacturers for free.

That's when you upgrade to Ultimate Omnipage (ie Ver 19 for the "old counting method") unfortunately also the case if you limit the assessment to the mere value of functions.

However, this time there is a serious change:

Omnipage no longer appears as Standard and Prof. version, but now only as an OmniPage Ultimate, which corresponds to the scope of the previous version of Prof.. For all users of the Standard version an inexpensive way to upgrade!

Omnipage Ultimate has the name UpGrade otherwise really do not deserve.

why is that?

Nuance promises once again that the detection accuracy is improved. Whether that is so, I can not check. But I can confirm that the accuracy has always been very high and benchmark for other providers.

There are a few new features that could make the 19 version (Ultimate) for registered users attractive:

As would "DocuDirect". One option in Microsoft server environments to address network scanner directly. For the average user ohnen great practical value.

The situation is different with the "launch pad" to automate which allows recurring workflows with a few clicks, a kind of macro management Win8 style. For me, this feature was the only selling point, as it saves a lot of time if you often treated similar workflows.

A new text to speech function, which allows to export MP3 files. Who needs it ...

The ability to export to ePub format texts and thus be read on several eReaders (including the iPad). That was even before that with many eReaders via PDF file.

The issue of secure documents in PDF / A format.

Another tip for all prospective buyers of the full version:

Who does not own Omnipage, the acquisition of the previous 18, and the upgrade should prefer buying the full version, as long as you get the upgrade for 49.00 and the previous version for 64.00 at Amazon. So you get a full version for 113.00!

Another member pointed out to me that there is a full version of OmniPage 06/2011 gave 16 SE with the c't that is eligible for an upgrade.
So can save even more money.
