image files and then load them into OmniPage. See “Input

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 im
prove the quality of scanned images.
• Break complex page images (lots of text and graphics or
e
la
borate 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 XP or Vista in safe mode
and test
OmniPage by perfor
ming OCR on the included sample
image files.
If you are performing multiple tasks at once, such as recognizing
and printing,
OCR may take longer.
