Convert by OCR
This option lets you change image files to text files using OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
These options are the same as those available on the Sharpdesk Convert By OCR feature and are
accessible by selecting the Details button. Note that the Details button is only enabled if the
Convert by OCR box is checked. This option also automatically launches the program associated
with the file type (for example, MS Word for RTF files).
Refer to the supplied Sharpdesk User’s Guide for more information about this option.
Output Options
Three Output Options are available: Email, Launch Program, and Move File to Folder.
• Email
If you select Email, the process will launch your MAPI-compliant mail client on your
computer, including the image as an attachment. You can then add your cover message and
provide the address to send the image through your mail system.
• Launch Program
If you select Launch Program, you can select an application capable of opening a file. For
example, an application that can open TIFF files (if Image is selected and TIFF format is
selected in the scanning information area) or an application that can open Text files (if T ext is
selected and the OCR output type property is set to RTF). To select the Prog ram to start, click
the Details button next to the option and the following screen will appear:
