Loading and recognizing sample image files

You will find sample image files in the program folder, both single-page
and multi-page files. First try reading these files using the procedure
presented below, except for the references to a scanner. See Input from
image files for more information on acquiring the images. The results
provide you with a benchmark of the recognition quality you should
expect from your own files of comparable quality.
Next, try scanning a page from your scanner.
Scanning and recognizing a single page
Turn your scanner on and be sure it is working correctly. Choose a page
with good-quality clear text for this test.
We assume OmniPage SE's default settings are set and that your
document is in the language you specified for interface language during
installation. Open the Options dialog box from the Tools menu and
choose Use Defaults if you are not using the program for the first time.
You will process the document automatically and save the recognition
results to a file. You will proof the document but will not edit it inside
OmniPage SE's Text Editor.
