Proofreading OCR Results
After performing OCR, recognized text appears in the text viewer where
you can proofread the results. Proofreading starts automatically if you
chose
OCR and Proof
as the OCR process command.
OmniPage Pro marks suspected errors in green and inserts a red “reject”
character for any character it cannot recognize. To turn off these color
markers, choose
Show Markers
in the View menu so that it is deselected.
To proofread OCR results and correct errors:
1 Click the Proofread OCR button or choose
Proofread OCR...
in
the Tools menu.
If a suspected error is detected, the OCR Proofreader dialog
box displays the error and a picture of how it originally looked
in the image.

thought the word was.
