4–2 TextBridge Pro User’s Guide
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The following checklist will take you through the most important
questions to ask before you start to process a document.
1. Is this document a good candidate for OCR? If you have difficulty
reading a page, TextBridge may also have trouble recognizing it.
2. Is my document coming from my scanner or an image file?
3. What type of page is the document?
4. Do I want to retain the original layout and format of the
document?
5. Does the original document have pictures? If so, do I want to
retain the pictures?
6. Do I want to capture the whole page or just part of it?
7. Are the pages I am processing all similar in layout and style?
8. Do I want to proofread the results before saving?
9. Are there any other settings I want to check and change?
The rest of this chapter provides information that helps you to
answer these questions.
