ROCESSING FROM OTHER APPLICATIONS
You can use the Direct OCR
of TextBridge Pro while you work in your usual word-processor or other
application. First you must establish the direct connection with the
application. Then, two items in its File Menu open the door to OCR
facilities.

How to set up Direct OCR

1. Start the application you want connected to TextBridge Pro. Start
TextBridge Pro, open the Options dialog box at the Direct OCR
panel and select 'Enable Direct OCR'.
2. The Unregistered panel displays running or previously registered
applications. Select the desired one(s) and click Add. You can browse
for an unlisted application. Select the process options as desired, to
function as preferences.

How to use Direct OCR

1. Open your registered application and work in a document. To
acquire recognition results from scanned pages, place them correctly
in the scanner.
2. Use the File Menu item Acquire Text Settings... to specify settings to
be used during recognition. Any settings not offered take their values
from those last used in TextBridge Pro. Settings changed for Direct
OCR are also changed in TextBridge Pro.
3. Use the File Menu item Acquire Text to acquire images from scanner
or file.
4. If you selected 'Draw zones automatically' in the Direct OCR panel
of the Options dialog box, or under Acquire Text Settings...,
recognition proceeds immediately.
5. If 'Draw zones automatically' is not selected, each page image will be
presented to you, allowing you to draw zones manually. Click the
Perform OCR button to start recognition.
