Processing with the OCR Wizard

The OCR Wizard can be used to start processing a new document. If you select it with a document open, it will be closed. The Wizard takes you through five settings panels, guiding you to make settings for your document and then launching automatic processing. Context-sensitive help is available for all Wizard panels. Click the OCR Wizard button in the OmniPage Toolbox to see the first wizard screen:

1.The first panel lets you define your document source: scanner or image file. See “Defining the source of page images” on page 48. Answer the question in the first screen and click Next.

2.The second panel asks you to describe the layout of the input document, to assist the auto-zoning. See “Describing the layout of the document” on page 51.

3.The third panel lets you define recognition languages. Languages with dictionary support have an open book icon. Recent choices are at the top of the list.

4.The fourth panel asks if you want to proofread the text before export. If you choose Yes you can also edit the text before saving. You also decide whether to create and use IntelliTrain data during proofing. See “IntelliTrain” on page 70.
