Your scanner needs to be driven by certain type of software program. Since all
documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scanner are
treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be done from an
image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output the scanned images.
What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor? This is
the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software converts the
image files that are created from scanning text documents into text files that can be
viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR program has also been
bundled on the included Setup/Application DVD-ROM, and if you wish to use the
scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.
Book Pavilion, a carefully designed tool, helps you make the book scanning
experience simple and efficient. With prior settings within the Book Pavilion turning
books into electronic files is as easy as making copies on a copy machine. All you
need to do is turn the book pages and then press one of the three scan buttons on the
scanner panel. Furthermore, you can scan consecutive pages on a book without
worrying about the page direction.... And you need to experience more!
Please refer to the online help of each program to guide you through any questions
you may have while scanning within that program.
