Processing with Schedule OCR
You can schedule OCR jobs to be performed automatically at any time within the following eight days. The job pages can come from a scanner with an ADF or from image files. You do not have to be present at your computer at job start time, nor does OmniPage Pro have to be running. It does not matter if your computer is turned off after the job is set up, so long as it is running at job start time. If you are scanning pages, your scanner must be functioning at job start time, with the pages loaded in the ADF. Here is how to set up a job:
1.Click Schedule OCR in the Process menu or in the Windows Start menu: select ProgramsScanSoftOmniPage Pro 12.0Schedule OCR.
2.The Schedule OCR dialog box appears. Click New... to get the New Job Wizard. It takes you through six panels, similar to the OCR Wizard.
3.In the first panel you define image source: scanner with ADF or file.
4.The next two panels are similar to those in the OCR Wizard, but you can also specify a user or professional dictionary and a training file. Whether IntelliTrain runs or not depends on the setting in OmniPage Pro at job time.
5.The following panels let you specify an export file name, type, location, a file separation choice and a formatting level.
6.The last panel lets you define the job start time and (where applicable) a stop time, and retain or delete input files after processing. Click Finish to close the Wizard.
The Schedule OCR dialog box lists all jobs, with status Waiting, Running, Paused, Error or Complete. Use Modify Job... to change settings for a waiting job. You can view, modify and reuse finished jobs to process new jobs needing similar settings. You can delete completed jobs when they are no longer needed.
For more information, please see Scheduling OCR in the online Help. If your edition of OmniPage Pro supports file input from folders, including watched folders, see “Advanced features in Schedule OCR” on page 93.
