The OmniPage Toolbox
This Toolbox lets you drive the processing. By default it is located along
the top of the OmniPage Desktop, just above the working areas. It can be
floated and also be docked along the bottom of the desktop.
Automatic processing is started, and can be stopped and re-started with
the Start button when “1-2-3” is selected in the Workflow drop-down
list. See “Automatic processing” on page 38.
Manual processing allows you to process documents page-by-page and
step-by-step. Start each step (again with “1-2-3” selected) with the three
large buttons: the Get Page button (1), the Perform OCR button (2) and
the Export Results button (3). See “Manual processing” on page 40.
You can switch between automatic and manual processing any time the
program is not busy with processing. That means you can switch between
them while you are working within a document. You can automatically
process some pages, then add more pages with manual processing. After
processing a stack of pages automatically, you can inspect the results and
then go back to reprocess certain pages manually. This procedure is
described in chapter 3. See “Combined processing” on page 41.
Workflow processing is designed for performing repeated tasks
efficiently. Select New Workflow... in the Workflow drop-down list and
click Start. The Workflow Assistant helps you define a workflow that can
be saved for repeated use. See “Workflow Assistant” on page 98.
