Chapter 6 Converting Images to Text

Introduction

Sharpdesk lets you convert a non-editable, graphical image containing text into a file that can be edited by your favorite word processor. You can convert an image at anytime while working in Sharpdesk by simply dragging the image onto the Convert by OCR option on the Output Zone bar. With Sharpdesk, even your document layouts are preserved.

Once an image has been turned into an editable document, you can then change it, annotate it, and treat it like any other document you created from scratch in its native application.

You can convert any .TIF, BMP, .DCX, .JPG, or .PCX, image into one of many standard output formats. Once converted, the document can be edited by many word processors.

Keep in mind that text conversion accuracy depends on the quality of the original image. A poor quality fax or copy might not convert correctly as the engine will have difficulty reading the text characters. On the other hand, most laser-printed documents should convert just fine. For tips on getting the best results, refer to “Text Conversion Tips” later in this chapter.
