Iris' recognition is excellent, especially the latest version 11.6.
I wouldn't even consider Omnipage at this point. Nuance is not
forthcoming with information, and the web page for it hasn't been
updated in a few years. Unless evidence surfaces to the contrary, I'd
call Omnipage for Mac a dead product, and consequently not worth
spending $500 on it. It wouldn't be the latest engine in any case,
probably isn't even a universal binary.
Read Iris does better for me than Omnipage 16 or Finereader 9 in
Windows, both in character accuracy and layout retention, which is
configurable in a number of ways. My only complaint with Read Iris is
that its scanning facilities are absolutely pathetic, and I need to
use VueScan to do the actual scanning, as the newer versions of
Scangear are a serious pain in the backside. It's a good thing they
integrate very well together, so at least it's not a pain to use once
configured.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
