5.The last panel asks you to define the export choice: saving to file or copying to Clipboard. After setting the choice, click Finish to close the Wizard and start the automatic processing.

6.If you requested proofing and the text contains suspect words, the OCR Proofreader dialog box will appear. When proofing is finished or closed, the Copy to Clipboard or Save As dialog box let you specify file export settings, including a page range and a formatting level.

7.The document remains in OmniPage Pro. You can edit recognition results and save them again to other formats. You can change zones manually or change other settings and then use manual processing to re-recognize single pages from the document. You can add pages with automatic or manual processing.

The Wizard panels present settings as they were last set in the program. Also, OmniPage Pro will remember the settings you make in the OCR Wizard panels and apply them to future automatic or manual processing, until you change them. So, if you have more documents for which your OCR Wizard settings are suitable, just click Start in the OmniPage Toolbox.

Applicable settings not offered by the OCR Wizard take the values last set in the program. This concerns mainly scanner settings, a user dictionary or a training file. Zone templates cannot be used with the OCR Wizard. If a template file was set when the OCR Wizard starts, it is unloaded and Automatic is set as input description. You cannot export a recognized document as a mail attachment. Please use automatic or manual processing for this.

Processing from other applications

You can use the Direct OCR feature to call on the recognition services of OmniPage Pro while you work in your usual word-processor or other application. First you must establish the direct connection with the application. Then, two items in its File Menu open the door to OCR facilities.
