and improved recognition, especially for text printed on shaded

image An electronic picture of text and/or graphics such as a scanned
document or graphic file.
interface The point at which independent systems or diverse groups
interact. The devices, rules, or conventions by which one component
of a system communicates with another. Also, the point of
communication between a person and a computer.
link To match field data exported from a database to corresponding
fields in the import database. This ensures that OmniForm imports the
proper information into the proper fields.
Also, to place an OLE object in a form so that it retains a connection to
the original source file.
Logical Form Recognition™ (LFR) A proprietary Caere technology
used by OmniForm that identifies text, rectangles, lines, and fillable
areas on a form during import. LFR incorporates optical character
recognition (OCR) to produce a form with editable text as well as
editable, fillable fields. Fillable areas are smartly named, labeled, and
put in a logical order.
main memory The portion of a computer’s memory with contents
directly accessible to the microprocessor; usually synonymous with
random-access memory (RAM).
menu A list of choices in a program from which you can select a
command. In Windows, menus appear when you click menu titles in
the menu bar. Dragging through the menu and releasing the mouse
button while a command is highlighted chooses that command.
mouse A small, hand-held device used to control a pointer on the
screen. The pointer can select items, initiate commands, and perform
other functions in the control and operation of various programs.
mouse pointer A small shape on the screen that follows the movement
of the mouse or shows where your next action will take place. The
pointer can take the shape of an arrow, an l-beam, an hourglass, or
other graphic character depending on the current state of an
application’s activity.
non-designed form A form imported into OmniForm as an image
without editable text or fillable fields. Use this import option when
you just want to print or fax a form as it is.
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) A feature that enables users to
insert and use objects created in other applications into a form.
