• Use the Copy As Text command. You can select text, or an entire
PaperPort item, copy it as text, and paste it into another application.
During copying, the OCR software automatically converts the image
into text. When you paste the text into another application, it is
editable text.
In addition to the OCR software provided with PaperPort, several other
OCR applications are also supported. For more information, see
"PaperPort Software Specifications" on page 160.

Use the following steps to process text using either the OCR software,
such as TextBridge Professional, that you received with PaperPort, or
other OCR software that you have on your computer.
You should use the Letter scan mode to scan items for OCR processing.
The Letter scan mode is optimized for OCR performance.
To process text using the word processor or spreadsheet links:
1. On the PaperPort Desktop, select a document.
2. To use the OCR software that you received with PaperPort, drag and
drop the item onto a word-processing icon or a spreadsheet icon on
the Link Bar, or from the File menu, choose Links, then choose the
name of the word-processing or spreadsheet program.
The OCR software converts the text to editable text. A progress
gauge appears while the text is being processed. The word-processing
or spreadsheet application opens and the converted text is an untitled
file waiting to be edited and saved.
To use other OCR software if it is available on your computer, drag
and drop the document onto that OCR icon on the Link Bar, or
from the File menu, choose Links and then choose the name of the
OCR software from the submenu. The document will be converted
to a file and sent to the OCR software. That OCR application opens,
and you can proceed in it as you normally would.
