A software tool capable of performing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) upon a set of images. It was one of the first OCR recognition software to be developed. It was developed in the late 1980s and sold by Caere Corporation. It is currently owned by Kofax Inc.

Omnipage automates large sections of the digitisation process enabling physical objects to be scanned, processed using the OCR software and exported to a document file format. Later versions of the software incorporate image enhancement features to improve scan quality (and recognition results) and better support for complex page layouts and forms. Features: Integration with scanning software Maintain layout of captured document
