The OCR Proofreader operates like a spell checker in
a word processing program, but with added
OCR-specific features. It removes markings from
words you proof.
Each Text Editor view defines a formatting level. This
guides you which level to choose at saving time.
This ends the OCR Proofreader process. The Save to
File dialog box will appear.
By default, Save and Launch is enabled, so your
