Technology - Nuance Ships ScanSoft OmniPage Capture SDK 15, World's Leading Scanning, OCR and PDF Developer Toolkit

Lets hope some of these features make it in to the next Kurzweil 1000 version.

'OmniPage Capture SDK 15 delivers accuracy levels that can reach over 99 percent
for OCR, an increase of up to 36 percent over the previous version and a performance
that is up to 50 percent better than alternatives. Customers also benefit from the
built-in support for dual-core, hyper-threading and multi-CPU systems, which deliver
speed improvements of up to 32 percent. Application development has been greatly
simplified through the delivery of high-level function calls and support for C, C++,
COM, VB.NET and C# programming environments, as well as pre-made end user interfaces
that now include the OmniPage Workflow Assistant. The new release also includes features
not available from any other imaging SDK, including Logical Forms Recognition(TM)
and Form Template Editor, which simplify developing forms processing applications;
RealSpeak(TM) Text-to-Speech for converting documents into audio files; and robust
support for PDF, including new PDF/A and highly compressed PDF-MRC formats.'
