Alas, while text-to-speech is included, it’s only inside the program and not available as a Microsoft Office add-on as Omni’s OCR and PDF features are. It’s amazing how many mistakes you’ll catch, and the improvements you’ll think of, when you hear your prose read aloud. Text-to-speech, the most obvious differentiator in this product, is useful for the hearing impaired, but it’s also helpful in ways you may not realize. The main OmniPage interface is versatile and mostly logical, though the division between actions and options is odd in some menus. But at $500, OmniPage Ultimate makes the competition look like bargains.
