Visioneer 430 manual Scanning with Optical Character Recognition OCR

CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 53

SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.

Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 200 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type font, 300 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

The OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must be installed on your computer in order to use the advanced OCR options with the OneTouch 4.0 software and your scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when you installed the scanner’s driver, and the OmniPage Pro software is on the CD Disc 2 that you received with your scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module and the OmniPage software can both be installed on your computer at the same time, however, the features in the OneTouch OmniPage Module will take precedence over the OmniPage software features when using OneTouch 4.0. The OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guideis available on the Disc 1 installation CD.

If you only have the PaperPort software installed you will still have basic OCR options but they are limited to those functions that PaperPort provides.

Note: Please refer to the OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guide, on Disc 1 that you received with your scanner, for detailed instructions on configuring and scanning with the advanced OCR Options.
