ScanSoft® TextBridge® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit

Software by:

ScanSoft® TextBridge® OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort® when you install MFL-Pro Suite on your computer.

ScanSoft® PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft® PaperPort® item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application.

PaperPort® uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft® TextBridge®, which comes with PaperPort®

—OR—

PaperPort® can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort® ’s built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

You can Import items from other applications

In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort® (MAX) files in several different ways:

■Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft® Excel.

■Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).
