Section 10: Processing Batches of Documents
Batch Processing
(This section applies to Readiris Corporate only)
When you are processing entire batches of image files you can use Readiris' Batch Processing folder.
Batch Processing executes the recognition on all scanned images in a specific folder. Indicate to Readiris in
which folder your documents are located, start the processing and all your documents will be converted to
the required output format.
To start batch processing:
 On the Process menu, click Batch Processing.
 Select an Image input folder.
This is the folder from which you scan the documents.
 Select an Output format.
See the topic Select the Output Format for more information.
 Select an Output folder or account.
This is the folder or account where your processed documents will be stored.
Note: to select a Cloud account, you must first configure it in Readiris > Preferences >
Accounts.
See the topic Select the Destination for more information.
Important note: do not select an output folder that is also being used as Watched Folder.
Batch Processing Options
 In case you want to process the underlying subfolders of the Input folder, select Process
subfolders.
 If you want Readiris to overwrite existing output files in the Text output folder, select Overwrite
text files.
 If you want Readiris to delete the original images from the Input after processing, select Delete
images after processing.
When you are done selecting the options, click OK for Readiris to start Batch processing the
folder.
Readiris processes the images of all supported file formats. You cannot limit the recognition to files of
a specific file format.
The recognized documents get the same file name as the original image files.
A log file is created per batch, containing the processing date and the document names and paths.
