ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR lets you convert image text in to text you can edit

Software by:

ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort® when you install Multi-Function Link® Pro 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® uses your 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).
