Modifying the automatic Page Analysis

Readiris divides documents into text, table and graphic recognition zones when the option Page

Analysis has been activated. This automatic page analysis can be modified in several ways. For

instance, you can expand and reduce zones in size, move zones to a different location, manually

create new zones, change the zone type of existing zones, change the sort order, and so on.

Note, however, that is not possible to do any text editing inside Readiris. That sort of editing is to be

done after you sent your documents to a target application. With Readiris you can for instance send

your documents to word processors such as TextEdit, Microsoft Word, Pages, and so on.
