Operation Manual

Ignoring a certain zone
In case your document only contains content in a certain area of the page, you can use the Ignore
option to exclude the remainder of the page from the recognition.
• Click Ignore in the Layout group.
• Then draw a frame around the section that contains the information. Everything outside the
frame will be ignored.
Note: you can also use this option to create Zoning templates, in case all your documents have a
similar layout. See the section Using Zoning Templates
.
Recognizing the content of a particular zone
In case you only want to recognize the content of a particular text zone, and you don't need a fully
converted output document, then you can use the Copy as Text option.
• Right-click the text zone you want to recognize.
• Then click Copy as Text.
The results are copied to the clipboard as body text. You can now paste them into other
applications.
Using Zoning templates
When you want to scan many similar looking documents, it might be useful to apply zoning
templates, instead of editing the recognition zones each time. In a zoning template you indicate
what your documents look like and where the text, picture or tables zones are located. This way,
Readiris only looks in the indicated areas, saving you a considerable amount of time.
To create a zoning template:
• Scan the first document.
• Click the Zones tab to edit the zones to your liking.
See Editing the Recognition Zones
for more information.
• Then click Save to save the zoning template.
