80 CHAPTER 8: CONVERTING ITEMS TO TEXT WITH OCR
After being processed with the OCR application, the pictures of the text
are now “real” text that a word-processing application recognizes. You
can select text, as shown here, to edit it. This example shows how the
converted text would appear in Microsoft Word.
CONVERTING AN ITEM TO TEXT
To convert an item to text, you first place the item into PaperPort, such
as by scanning a document to PaperPort. Then you use a word-
processing link and the built-in OCR application to convert the item to
text. You can convert an item to text from either Desktop View or Page
View.
To convert an item from Desktop View:
1. Select the item to convert. It can be a single page or a stack.
2. Drag the item onto a word-processing link, such as Microsoft
Word, on the Link Bar.
You can also click the link icon.
