OCR and Basic TextBridge Operations 3–5
For some documents, you may want only the text in simple galley
(one-column) form. In this case, you would not want to retain the
layout. The output document will have a single column of all the
text in the original document. If you choose to format with
paragraph styles, the text formatting but not the page layout will
be retained. For example, the final document will have
paragraphs and headings in styles like the original document and
in the order of the original document. If you choose to retain
pictures, the pictures will be at the end of the document. If you
use zone ordering, you can number the zones in the order in
which you want them to be in the final document.
Note TextBridge is not designed to recognize and retain the layout of
forms, including forms designed with fill in the blanks, check
boxes, or vertical and horizontal lines separating fields of
information.
RUNNING TEXTBRIDGE STANDALONE AND INSTANT ACCESS
You can run TextBridge as a standalone program or invoke it from
within another program with Instant Access. You can also invoke
TextBridge through image file context menus and drag-and-drop.
Note Instant Access is also available from the Start menu.
Standalone Program
The TextBridge standalone program is a conventional,
document-oriented Windows program. When you start TextBridge
from the Start menu, it operates as standalone program and runs
independently of any other program. You interact with the
program through common user interface components, such as
pulldown menus, toolbars, a main window, dialog boxes, and
context menus.
You add image pages to the document by opening image files or
scanning pages, instructing TextBridge to automatically process
the pages or manually interacting with the processing. TextBridge
recognizes pages and saves them in the output format that you
specify. You can then open the output file in the program that
uses the format you specified.
