also select the 'Automatic' option to let the software self-detect the page turning process, or use 'Repeat (5/7 sec)' options to
let the software repeatedly capture images after 5 or 7 seconds.)
5. Set the Output Format to Word
6. Set the Image Settings to 'B&W (document)'
7. Select the Language of your document for OCR!

TIP: During the image capture process, you can manipulate the temporary images in the Preview thumbnails, such as rotate the
image, move an image up or down the list, delete the image, or insert a new image. You can also click on the Clear button (bin) to
delete all images when you are done.
