To float a panel anywhere on the screen, keep CTRL pushed while
dragging. To dock it, drag the panel over the OmniPage main
window, hold down the left mouse button and start pressing space
to see all possible docking positions. To select a given position,
release the mouse button.
Basic Processing Steps
There are three ways of handling documents: with automatic,
manual or workflow processing. The basic steps for all processing
methods are broadly the same:
1. Bring a set of images into OmniPage. You can scan a
paper document with or without an Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF) or load one or more image files.
2. Perform OCR to generate editable text. After OCR, you
can check and correct errors in the document using the
OCR Proofreader and edit the document in the Text
Editor.
3. Export the document to the desired location. You can
save your document to a specified file name and type,
place it on the Clipboard, send it as a mail attachment or publish it.
You can save the same document repeatedly to different
destinations, different file types, with different settings and levels of
formatting.
Using OmniPage, you can choose from the following processing
methods: Automatic, Manual, Combined, or Workflow. You can
start recognition from other applications, using Direct OCR and can
also schedule processing to run at a later time.
Processing methods are detailed in the next chapter and in Online
Help.
