Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is like a printer in reverse. Instead of printing what’s on the screen onto paper, 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: For all OCR processing, use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type, 400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

The One Touch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options with the One Touch 4.0 software and your DocuMate 272 scanner. One Touch 4.0 and OmniPage Pro work together to combine scanning with OCR processing into one integrated step. The One Touch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when you installed your driver, the OmniPage Pro software is on the Disc 2 CD that you received with your scanner. The One Touch OmniPage Module and the OmniPage Software can both be installed on your computer at the same time, however, the features in the One Touch OmniPage Module will take precedence over the OmniPage software features when using One Touch 4.0. The “One Touch OmniPage Mini-Guide” is available on the Disc 1 installation CD.

With the One Touch OmniPage Module or OmniPage Pro software installed, the OCR process is automatic when the page format on the One Touch Properties window is a text format, such as DOC, TEXT, XLS, RTF, and so forth.

NOTE: If you have uninstalled the One Touch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software from your computer, items scanned as a text format are still converted with the OCR process, however, the options available with the process are then limited.
