Welcome to ScanSoft's TextBridge® Professional Edition, the
premier OCR software for Macintosh®.
OCR stands for optical character recognition, the capability
to recognize paper documents and output formatted, fully-
editable data (text and graphics) to a word processor,
spreadsheet, or web browser format. OCR can also recognize on-
line page images from fax modems, scanners, and other sources.
In addition to OCR, TextBridge Pro offers advanced capabilities
such as interactive training and full document
recomposition.
TextBridge Pro combines ScanSoft's industry-leading document
recognition technology (DocuRT™) with a familiar, easy-to-use
Macintosh interface. Figure 1–1 shows the main window of
TextBridge Pro.
