ScanSoft® PaperPort® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit 2
ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a word
processing application.
PaperPort® SE uses the optical character recognition application OCR, which comes with PaperPort® SE.
PaperPort® SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert the entire
item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose 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 2
As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® SE in a variety of ways and convert them to
PaperPort® SE (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 Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF).
You can export items into other formats 2
You can export or save PaperPort® SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PDF
or self-viewing.
For example, to create a file for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG
files for displaying images.
