Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a
scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with the
text and numbers to edit, spell check, change font or type size, sort,
calculate, and so forth.
This section briefly describes how to scan with OCR using the default
One Touch settings, when the One Touch OmniPage module is installed.
The One Touch OmniPage module was automatically installed when you
installed the scanner driver from the installation disc 1.
The One Touch OmniPage Mini-Guide is available on the installation disc
and fully describes OCR scanning.
To scan with OCR:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window.
2. Select a text editing application in the Select Destination list, then
select a text file format in the Select Format panel.
3. Click OK to save the changes and close the One Touch Properties
window.
4. On the scanner, or on the One Touch button panel, press the Scan
button.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with the
text ready for editing and other text processing.
