Omni Page Pro 10 has just been released and Caere'  is boasting a 30%
improvement in OCR accuracy. The program also has a built in text-to-speech
function. This sounds very interesting. Has anyone tried it out?


I've included the promo from their web site below.

OmniPage Pro® -- the world's best-selling Optical Character Recognition
(OCR) software -- quickly, accurately and easily converts paper documents
and images into editable text for use in your favorite applications. Great
for reports, letters, magazine articles, faxes, photocopies-anything you
don't want to retype!

Better than 99% accuracy* means you'll spend far less time proof-reading and
editing, and your documents will come together faster than ever. Even with
poor-quality documents -- faxes, photocopies, very small text, crooked
pages -- you'll see outstandingly accurate results.

The easy-to-use AutoOCR Toolbar™ lets you recognize text with a single
click. Or you can choose Manual mode for greater hands-on control, or Wizard
mode to give you a step-by-step walk-through. It's the easiest OCR to use,
whether you're a novice or a veteran.

Ease of Use
OmniPage Pro 10 is easy to learn and use. Longtime users praise the new
streamlined look-it's simpler and more intuitive, yet none of the power is
lost. The tutorial wizard helps new users start working immediately.

OmniPage Pro 10 automatically detects tables in your documents and preserves
them as editable table objects in Word and WordPerfect. New table editor
lets you easily edit tables directly in OmniPage Pro. And you can save
spreadsheets directly to Excel, 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro with formatting just
like the original.

OmniPage Pro 10 brings you innovative new capabilities that set it apart
from the pack:

OmniPage Web Personal Edition easily and quickly turns scanned documents
into linked, working Web sites. Included free in the box!
Text-to-Speech feature reads recognized text to you aloud. Use it for
