Welcome
Welcome to this OmniPage
®
18 text recognition program, and thank you for choosing our
software! The following documentation has been provided to help you get started and give you
an overview of the program.
This User’s Guide
This guide introduces you to using OmniPage 18. It includes installation and setup instructions,
a description of the program’s commands and working areas, task-oriented instructions, ways to
customize and control processing, and technical information. Descriptions are based on the
Windows 7
TM
operating system.
In line with Nuance’s environmental policy, the Guide is supplied as a PDF file only. To have a
printed copy on normal sized paper, we recommend double-sided printing with two pages per
sheet.
This guide is written with the assumption that you know how to work in the Microsoft Windows
environment. Please refer to your Windows documentation if you have questions about how to
use dialog boxes, menu commands, scroll bars, drag and drop functionality, shortcut menus, and
so on.
We also assume you are familiar with your scanner and its supporting software, and that the
scanner is installed and working correctly before it is setup with OmniPage 18. Please refer to
the scanner’s own documentation as necessary.
How-to-Guides

help you get started easily by providing concise overviews of key program areas, such as getting
input, image improvement, zoning, recognition, editing, proofreading, new features, and the
like.
