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
from your file system, storage sites in the Cloud, FTP and more.
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 Help.
Settings
The Options dialog box is the central location for OmniPage settings. Access it from the
Standard toolbar or the Tools menu. Context-sensitive help provides information on
each setting.
