CONVERTING AN ITEM TO TEXT 35
CONVERTING AN ITEM TO TEXT
To convert an item to text, you first scan it into PaperPort. You can use
OCR to convert text from either Desktop View or Page View.
▼ NOTE: Text scanned in color cannot be converted using the OCR
software. Change the scanner’s scan setting to “Editing Text” which is
designed specifically for OCR conversion.
To convert an item from Desktop View:
▼ NOTE: This sample shows the steps for using PaperPort’s built-in
Visioneer OCR software and sending the converted text directly to a
word processing application, in this case Word. If you have other
OCR software on your computer, you send the text to it instead.
You can also configure the word processing link to send text to the
other OCR application.
1. Select the item to
convert. It can be
a single page or
a stack.
2. Drag the item
onto the word
processing link
icon on the
Link Bar.
You can also
click the word
processing link
icon.
3. When the
word processing
link icon is
highlighted,
release the
mouse button.
