ScanSoft OMNIPAGE 15 Manual page 43

When you load a template, its background and zones are placed:
◆
on the current page, replacing any zones already there
◆
on all further acquired pages
◆
on pre-existing pages sent to (re-)recognition without any zones.
With manual processing the template zones in the first two cases can be
viewed and modified before recognition.
With automatic processing the template zones can be viewed and
modified only after recognition.
With workflow processing, use the zone images step. This combines two
steps: load templates and manual zoning. To use a zone template, click the
Add button in the appropriate panel of the Workflow Assistant, and select
the zone template file to use. Then make your choice between displaying
images for manual zoning; applying the zone template; or applying it and
display the images.
Templates accept ignore and process zones and backgrounds. They can
therefore be useful to define which parts of the pages to process with auto-
zoning, and which parts to ignore. Process zones or process background
areas from a template may be replaced during recognition by a set of
smaller zones; specific zone types will be assigned to these zones.
How to save a zone template
Select a background value and prepare zones on a page. Check their
locations and properties. Click Zone Template... in the Tools menu. In
the dialog box, select
and optionally a different path. Choose a network location to share the
template file. Click OK. The new zone template remains loaded.
How to modify a zone template
Load the template and acquire a suitable image with manual processing.
The template zones appear. Modify the zones and/or properties as desired.
Open the Zone Template Files dialog box. The current template is
selected. Click Save and then Close.
