OCRKit 1.3 is a powerful, streamlined, and fast, yet affordable text recognition with support for more than 10 languages for the Mac. The new Mac application OCRKit recognizes text from images and PDF documents and transform them into searchable PDFs by using a advanced text recognition based on the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. It has never been so easy to create searchable PDF documents with a simple drag and drop, and to find them again with the Mac's built-in Spotlight desktop search.

OCRKit comes as a native, Intel Macintosh application focusing on usability and simple to use. By dragging a document onto the application icon a searchable and multi page PDF is quickly created. OCRKit helps to organize the office workflow: By making received information, in image or PDF form, from a copier, scanner, receipt or via e-mail editable and indexable to find them with Spotlight or manage them in a database application.

OCRKKit comes with support for many OCR languages, including English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish, and even more user-interface translations: English, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified-Chinese, Traditional-Chinese, and works with Apple Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 as well as with the 'Snow Leopard' version 10.6. on Intel Macs. The support of AppleScript allows professionals to create dedicated solutions for specific and even difficult workflows.
