Reception

In 1994, the University of Nevada Las Vegas reported that: "Overall, ExperVision RTK performed the best. It demonstrated consistently high accuracy. It performs especially well on proportional pitch text, and is least affected by low resolution (200 dpi). It also provides an excellent automatic zoning capability."[2]

In 2008, an article in PC Magazine said that: “TypeReader is faster and more accurate (than OmniPage) ...” “However, OCR software is more commonly used to convert a pile of paper documents into editable text files. For that task, TypeReader is faster and more accurate” [3]
