Releases are expensive through the company but they constantly spam you with "great deals!" and "last chance!" (especially for their associated pen reader) - a lot like owning Toast, in that regard. 12.04 to 12.05, you have to call them up, deal with the usual nonsense, and beg, plead, and demand until they send you the release, which really should be going to all customers automatically. If you are having problems and need a point update, e.g. Bugs continue unabated and usability is never improved. Updates are very expensive and in my experience, very little changes from version to version. I got this when it was just about the only game in town. The UI is a bit Windows like, but that does not worry me.

I think the software does what it claims to do.

I had no problems installing, activating and registering version 17 in High Sierra 10.13.4. I did have trouble activating version 15 a few years ago, but I got a prompt response from the support site and had no further problems. This necessitated leaving MacUpdate and going into the IRIS website.

I was able to upgrade from my version 16 software for $69. You can also save documents in a multi-page format, which is handy for pdf. There are more export options available too. The ability to save the file as pdf, doc or xls is great. I have found the OCR engine quite accurate.

Then I tried Readiris, which was ported across from Windows I think. ViewScan has rudimentary OCR and did the trick for a while.

There is a dearth of OCR software for the mac and when my previous software (OmniPage I think) stopped being supported I had to look elsewhere. I have not had the problems reported below. Readiris also offers built-in support for saving directly to cloud services Evernote, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box, which Abbyy does not.I have been using Readiris Pro for a number of years. One-click export options for PDF, Word, and Excel do give Readiris 16 the upper hand, and users who frequently save to the same format and location can streamline things even further with automatic processing, which goes directly from scan to save within seconds. I do prefer Abbyy’s iLife-style user interface, although both applications are easy to navigate. However, Abbyy FineReader often produced more accurate results, especially on documents of lower quality. In almost all cases, Readiris displayed recognition results in the blink of an eye, seemingly before the entire sheet of paper would be completely ejected from the scanner’s document feeder. When it comes to raw speed, Readiris Pro 16 is like greased lightning compared to Abbyy FineReader. Readiris Pro 16 offers an image quality alert when there are problems with the source document, but it wasn’t always accurate in our tests. In my tests, this feature tended to be a little overzealous, often popping up even with clear, clean scans at the correct resolution. There’s a new image quality indicator which appears as a yellow band across the top, warning users of any potential problems with imported documents. Readiris 16 still doesn’t offer direct scanning from Fujitsu models like my ScanSnap ix500 (which has never supported TWAIN), but it’s a trivial matter to create the appropriate profile in ScanSnap Manager so scans are imported to the application automatically. The latest version automatically detects scanners manufactured by IRIS, HP, and Canon, although all three Epson models in my home office were also recognized without additional setup required, working directly or via TWAIN.

Readiris 16 supports more than 130 languages (you can easily switch between installed dialects on the fly), and conversions can be made directly from supported scanners as well as existing image or PDF files, then exported to Microsoft Office files or a variety of image and document formats. Thanks to automatic processing, Readiris Pro 16 users can scan, convert, and save documents in a single step.Ĭore functionality remains the same.
