Opening Images
You can recognize image files without using a scanner (see the list of supported image formats
under “Supported Image Formats”).
To open an image:
● Click on the downwardpointing arrow to the right of the 1Scan button and
select the Open Image item in the local menu. An Open caption will replace
the Scan caption on the button.
● Select the Open Image from the File menu.
● In Windows Explorer, rightclick the image file you want to open and select
Open with FineReader from the local menu. If ABBYY FineReader is running,
the image will be added to the current batch. Otherwise, the program will be
launched and the most recently used batch opened before the image is added.
● In Microsoft Outlook or Windows Explorer, click on the image file you want
to open and drag it onto the minimized ABBYY FineReader window. The
image will be added to the current batch and opened in the Image window.
Select one or several images in the Open dialog. The selected images will be displayed in the
Batch window, and the last selected image displayed in the Image and Zoom windows. All
selected images are copied into the batch folder. See “General Information on Working with
Batches” section for more information on batch organization and a description of how pages
are displayed within batches.
Tip: If you want the opened images to be recognized immediately, select the Open&Read
mode:
1. Select the Open&Read item from the Process menu or press
CTRL+SHIFT+D. The Open dialog will open.
2. Select the images for recognition in the Open dialog.
