Readiris Pro 11 for Mac OS
Read IRIS Pro is not what it claims to be
Written by JU from Mentor

The product works fair at best. Formatting is rarely retained and images rarely transfer. The software boasts a lot on the web, literature, and box cover but when you try the product, it does everything the "Read Me" file says.
Stay away. It's not worth the money. …More40 of 46 people found this useful

Worked fine for me

Read Iris worked fine for what I needed, which was to turn about twenty pages from a paperback (with authorization!) into editable text.
On top of that, I had blown the pages to full size and the copying wasn't that great.
I'm not sure what else I could expect from an OCR product. If it had formatted into paragraphs, it would have gotten five stars, but I didn't play around with it a whole lot. Within forty five or so minutes from opening the program, I was finished and moved on in the workflow. …More20 of 22 people found this useful

I guess, my expecations, unlike a previous reviewer, are that IF, the software retypes faster than my hands, the software wins. I would not even dare competing :) …More
