ONVERTING AN ITEM USING ANOTHER
APPLICATION
If you have another OCR application installed on your computer, such
as Pro OCR, an OCR link appears on the Link Bar. Instead of using
PaperPort's built-in OCR application, you can convert an item to text
by using another OCR application.
To convert an item to text using another OCR application:
1. Set OCR preferences for the other OCR application as described in
the documentation that came with your OCR application.
2. Select the item to convert.
3. Drag it onto the OCR link icon on the Link Bar. You can also click
the OCR link icon.
4. When the OCR link icon is highlighted, release the mouse button.
5. Complete the conversion as described by your OCR
documentation.

ETTING THE
ISIONEER
You can set the Visioneer OCR preferences for each link application that
you use to convert an image into text. For example, you can set
preferences for word-processing applications, such as Microsoft Word
and for spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel. You can
change the preferences at any time to accommodate the type of item you
are converting. You can set preferences from either Desktop View or
Page View.
