Scanning Using OCR - Mac OS X
You can use the ABBYY FineReader OCR program to convert scanned documents to editable text.
In Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, you can use ABBYY FineReader to convert scanned documents to editable
text by first using an application such as Image Capture. Scan and save your document in Image
Capture, then open ABBYY FineReader, open the Get Images From pop-up menu, and select File.
Select the conversion option you want to use, then select your scanned file and follow the instructions on
the screen.
Note: With Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, in addition to scanning with Image Capture, you can download and
install EPSON Scan scanning software. EPSON Scan provides additional image adjustment and photo
correction features for enhancing scanned images, and provides an interface for TWAIN-compliant OCR
scanning software, such as ABBYY FineReader. To download EPSON Scan, visit Epson's driver
download site (U.S. downloads or Canadian downloads).
1. Place your original on your product for scanning.
2. Open the Applications folder and click the ABBYY FineReader Sprint icon.
