TextBridge is OCR software that turns paper documents or page
image files into text documents on your PC. Page image data is
electronic information about the pages of a document that comes
from a source such as your scanner or fax software. This data
becomes an image document and is stored in an image file.
Text documents are files containing information about the text
and pictures in your document. A text document contains one or
more pages and is expressed in text form and stored in a text
file. You can open, edit, reformat, and republish this information.
TextBridge can recognize a wide variety of pages. All you need to
do is select the page type that most closely matches your original
page. TextBridge gives you common page types with settings that
are used most often to process pages of that type. You can also
define your own page types to handle processing of other types of
pages.
Using page types makes it quick and easy for you to perform page
recognition. You can modify these page types or create new page
types and save them for future use.
Page type settings include: page orientation, page layout, print
type, scanner brightness, scanner color and resolution, document
language, training data, and user dictionary. The page types to
choose from and some of their characteristics are described in the
following table:
