OmniPage is an optical character recognition (OCR) application available from Tungsten Automation.

OmniPage was one of the first OCR programs to run on personal computers.[5] It was developed in the late 1980s and sold by Caere Corporation, a company headed by Robert Noyce. The original developers were Philip Bernzott, John Dilworth, David George, Bryan Higgins, and Jeremy Knight.[6][7][8] Caere was acquired by ScanSoft in 2000.[9] ScanSoft acquired Nuance Communications in 2005, and took over its name.[10] By 2019 OmniPage had been sold to Kofax Inc.[11] On January 16, 2024, Kofax was renamed to Tungsten Automation.[12]

OmniPage supports more than 120 different languages.[13] OmniPage provides software development kits for integrating OCR functionality into other applications, such as Microsoft Office Document Imaging and UiPath.[14][15]
