How to use OmniPage with PaperPort
The PaperPort
®
program is a paper management software product from
Nuance. It lets you link pages with suitable applications. Pages can
contain pictures, text or both. If PaperPort exists on a computer with
OmniPage, its OCR services become available and amplify the power of
PaperPort. You can choose an OCR program by right-clicking on a text
application’s PaperPort link, selecting Preferences and then selecting
OmniPage 18 as the OCR package. OCR settings can be specified, as
with Direct OCR.
PaperPort provides the easiest way to turn paper into organized digital
documents that everybody in an office can quickly find and use.
PaperPort works with scanners, multifunction printers, and networked
digital copiers to turn paper documents into digital documents. It then helps you to manage
them along with all other electronic documents in one convenient and easy-to-use filing
system.
PaperPort’s large, clear item thumbnails allow you to visually organize, retrieve and use your
scanned documents, including Word files, spreadsheets, PDF files and even digital photos.
PaperPort’s Scanner Enhancement Technology tools ensure that scanned documents will look
great while the annotation tools let you add notes and highlights to any scanned image.
PaperPort is included in the OmniPage Professional package. For application
information, refer to PaperPort’s own documentation. PaperPort must be installed
and uninstalled separately from OmniPage.
When PaperPort is available, its folder structure is offered in OmniPage’s Load from File and
Save to File dialog boxes.
