Scanning Text - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Scanning text

This procedure does not use the ScanWizard for Windows but makes use
instead of the OCR software (in this case Caere OmniPage Limited Edition)
included with some scanners. To scan text, do the following:
Place the document to be scanned face down in your scanner.
1
Double-click on the OmniPage Limited Edition icon in the Caere Applica-
2
tion program group.
From the Tools menu, choose Language... to open the Language dialog
3
box.
Click on the Acquire Image button in the toolbar or choose Acquire Image
4
from the File menu. The Load Scanner dialog box appears.
Click Scan. OmniPage Limited Edition scans the page and displays it in the
5
preview area.
Click on the OCR button in the toolbar. OmniPage recognizes the
6
document's text. The Progress Monitor window displays the process.
After finishing, the Save As dialog box will appear. If it does not appear,
click on the Save As button or choose Save As Document... from the File
menu. Enter a name for your job in the File Name text box.
Click OK.
