"With the release of Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 (Leopard) our business has grown significantly. Many customers realize they don't need to buy a new scanner, and can use their existing scanners with VueScan."
"The market for document scanning is growing rapidly, and many of our customers are scanning documents to PDF files. Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard support searching for content in PDF files, so our customers have been asking for searchable PDF support. Now VueScan 8.6.33 can create PDF files that can be indexed and searched. " says Ed Hamrick, President of Hamrick Software.
"Searchable PDF means that the image of a page is written to the PDF file, along with the text strings on this page. You see the picture of the page, but can search for the words on the page. This is the same technology used by Google's Book Search. We use Google's Tesseract 3.0 OCR software to do this, which has the best accuracy of any OCR software. This is a feature that isn't offered by most scanning software."
"We have many small but clearly defined features that make a world of difference for many of our customers. Some features are for photographers, some for people working with thousands of scans, some are for beginners who have never used a scanner. We've also worked hard to support scanners that manufacturers don't support any more, and it is clear that this is paying off as more and more people turn to us for support." says Hamrick.
