Scanning

Quick links to other applications

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
'working link' to them.
The bar at the bottom of the PaperPort™ 12SE desktop shows which programs you can use with PaperPort™
12SE.
To send an item from PaperPort™ 12SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the
PaperPort™ 12SE desktop to the program icon on the Send To bar. PaperPort™ 12SE automatically
converts the item to the preferred format.
If PaperPort™ 12SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually
create a link using the New Link button on the Tools ribbon.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text
you can edit
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.
PaperPort™ 12SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™
12SE. PaperPort™ 12SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert
the entire item, or by using the Copy Text button on the Item ribbon, you can choose only a portion of the
text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™ 12SE's built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.

to PaperPort™ 12SE (MAX) files in several different ways:
