What a shit program.

I tried messing around with OmniPage 17 Professional and it was horrible. Unintuitive, didn't save any of the settings I had so I had to set it every time I scanned a page and the Kindle option...

it's to save the file to .doc? They ripped off Calibre and you can mail it to your Amazon email address for conversion. That's it. The program doesn't actually do anything.

Save your money. If you need an OCR, go with ABBYY.
