Links to Many Other Applications

®
ScanSoft™ PaperPort automatically recognizes many other applications on
your computer and creates a "working link" to them. The Link Bar at the bottom
of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an
item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A
typical use of the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it.
®
This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort .
®
If PaperPort does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your
computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link
®
command. (See PaperPort in the On-Line-Documentation on the CD-ROM
for more information about creating new links.)

Using ScanSoft™ TextBridge

OCR

(Converting Image Text to Text You Can Edit)

Software by:
® ®
ScanSoft™ TextBridge OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort when
®
you install Multi-Function Link Pro on your computer.
® ®
ScanSoft™ PaperPort can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft™ PaperPort
item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a
®
word processing application. PaperPort uses the optical character recognition
® ®
application ScanSoft™ TextBridge , which comes with PaperPort —OR—
®
PaperPort uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can
convert the entire item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select
only a portion of the text to convert.
®
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort 's built-in
OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.
