[comp.sys.mac] Any news on OmniPage and OCR ??

jalb@daimi.dk (J|rgen Albretsen) (11/14/88)

This is an e-mail repost of a letter to Caere Corporation, that I
posted by snail mail more than a month ago. I don't know if it
takes that long a time, or something has gone wrong. Therefore
this cry for help/information. The address should be correct, 
as I saw the first notice about OmniPage here on the net and
copied the address from there. If somebody from Caere or
anybody else has comments or news on OCR and OmniPage, please
send me an e-mail. If it looks interesting, I will summarize
to the net.

Thanks !

Dear Sir or Madam:

Your company has recently released a new OCR software product for the
Macintosh, named OmniPage. I was informed of this by reading e-mail 
articles appearing on UUCP. After what they told, your product seems 
to be very promising, especially in connection with the Apple Scanner.

For the moment we are using an Agfa Scanner S200 with Read-It! OCR software 
on a Mac II with 4 MB. They work fine together, but I must admit, 
that Read-It! is not perfect. Therefore, I would appreciate, if you could 
send us information concerning OmniPage (with price list), also telling, 
whether OmniPage can work together with other scanners, like the Agfa.

If it is more convenient for you, 
my e-mail address is : jalb@daimi.dk (UUCP)


Sincerely yours



J|rgen Albretsen
