Recomposition

Scanning grayscale (or color) rather than black and white can
improve text recognition on pages with difficult-to-recognize text.
However, grayscale scanning is slower than black and white
scanning.
You can get pages to process from your scanner or from page
images. Use your scanner as a source to input documents on
paper to TextBridge, which then takes the scanned images,
performs OCR, converts the recognized text and pictures to the
text file format of your choice, and stores it on your PC.
Alternatively, use TextBridge to recognize and convert page
images stored in image files that come from fax modems or other
sources.
TextBridge recomposition lets you keep the layout of the
original page. When you select Retain page layout, TextBridge
recomposes the layout, while maintaining full ability to edit in
the output file (except WYSIWYG HTML). After recomposition,
text, pictures, and tables are in the same position in relation to
each other as in the original page. You can see the results of
recomposition when you print the page or look at it in layout
view, if your word processor supports these elements.
You can retain page layout when outputting to Word or
WordPerfect. Outputting HTML WYSIWYG preserves page
layout for Internet Explorer and Netscape.
It is important to note that in reconstructing the layout of the
original document, TextBridge is limited by the composition
capabilities of the text program. For example, there are some
complex magazine pages originally created with a publishing
program for which you will not get identical output in your word
processor. Even the most powerful word processors do not have
some of the composition capabilities of publishing software.
