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.

Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type font, 400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

The PaperPort software must be installed for the OCR options to be available for the TXT, RTF, XLS and HTML formats.

To scan with OCR:

1.Open the One Touch Properties window.

2.Select a text editing program in the Select Destination list, then select a text File Format in the Select Format panel.

For example, if you want to edit your document in Microsoft’s Word, select that application then choose a File Format such as TEXT.
