Input from digital camera
You can bring digital camera photos of documents for
recognition into OmniPage. First, make sure that your
device driver is installed properly. Then connect the camera and
download images. Click Load Digital Camera Files in the Get Page
drop-down list. If you use this, 3D Deskew, resolution enhancement
and straightening text lines are automatically performed on images.
You can also do manual 3D deskewing, see the section “Image
Enhancement tools” later in this Chapter.
To acquire digital camera photos containing text from Direct OCR
or PaperPort, mark the Load as digital camera image checkbox. The
above mentioned automatic enhancements will apply.
For tips and advice on working with digital camera images see the
How-to-Guides.
Input from scanner
You must have a functioning, supported scanner correctly installed
with OmniPage 16. You have a choice of scanning modes. In making
your choice, there are two main considerations:
• Which type of output do you want in your export
document?
• Which mode will yield best OCR accuracy?
Scan black and white
Select this to scan in black-and-white. Black-and-white
images can be scanned and handled quicker than others
and occupy less disk space.
Scan grayscale
Select this to use grayscale scanning. For best OCR
accuracy, use this for pages with varying or low contrast
