Optional software

This section describes third-party software programs that the device supports.

Text-recognition software

The device software has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition is also available through the third-party software program Readiris, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the device.

About text-recognition reliability

Text-recognition software turns an image into computer-editable text by analyzing the image and defining the characters. The accuracy obtained through text-recognition software depends on the quality, size, and structure of the original document, and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain the best possible results when using text-recognition software, use the following guidelines:

Scan directly from the text-recognition software.

Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger.

Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting.

Scan images squarely.

Make sure that the pages are free of extraneous marks.

Maximize the scanning resolution. Use a minimum of 300 dpi.

Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that "bleed" along their edges, or that touch other letters do not work well. Text that is aligned closely to nontext items, such as graphics, might also degrade text-recognition results.

Fine-tune the amount of black and white on scanned images. See the user guide for information.

Avoid scanning from thin paper that has information printed on the back side. The information on the back can bleed through.

Even when following these recommendations, less-than-perfect image results can occur. This is because text-recognition technology is evolving and is still less than perfect.

Readiris text-recognition software

The Readiris Professional V11.0 text-recognition software by IRIS converts scanned images into text that can be edited in word-processing programs.
