System or performance problems during OCR
Try these solutions if a crash occurs during OCR or if processing
takes a very long time:
• Check image quality. Consult your scanner documentation
on ways to improve the quality of scanned images.
• Break complex page images (lots of text and graphics or
elaborate formatting) into smaller jobs. Draw zones
manually or modify automatically created zones and
perform OCR on one page area at a time. See “Working
with zones” in the Processing documents Chapter.
• Restart Windows, 2000, XP or Vista in safe mode and test
OmniPage by performing OCR on the included sample
image files.
If you are performing multiple tasks at once, such as recognizing
and printing, OCR may take longer.
