INPUT IMAGE FILE FORMATS
The source of page images for TextBridge can be your scanner or it
can be image files. TextBridge can recognize the following types of
image file formats:
Image File Format File Name Extension
Windows bitmap .bmp
PCX .pcx
Multi-page PCX used in some fax
programs
.dcx
Tag image file format (including
Alacrity TIFF)
.tif, .ala
Delrina WinFax fax image files .fxr, .fxd,
.fxm, .fxs
eXtended image file .xif
Image files can be black and white (binary), grayscale, or color.
TextBridge can process images in resolutions from 72 to 900 dots
per inch (dpi). Recognition results are generally better from
grayscale images than binary images. For the most accurate
results, we recommend scanning grayscale images at 200 dpi. For
better results on difficult documents, we recommend scanning
grayscale images at 300 dpi; however, this requires more
processing time.
Note Refer to the ScanSoft Web site at www.scansoft.com for the latest
list of supported input image file formats.
