I
Instant Access OCR™—A capability that enables TextBridge
Pro to be run from within virtually any word processor or text
application. When you launch TextBridge Pro from the Apple
menu, while the host application is active, the TextBridge Pro
Main window is displayed, and you can access all TextBridge Pro
features to process a document. When document processing is
finished, TextBridge Pro automatically pastes the recognized text
into the host application's open document.
input format—The file format that is used as input to a process
such as recognition or conversion. TextBridge Pro accepts a TIFF,
PCX, DCX, or BMP file as input to the recognition process; it
accepts format-analyzed text (a Xerox proprietary format) as
input to the conversion process.
Input layout—In TextBridge Pro preferences, a setting that
informs the program about the number of text columns and the
presence or absence of pictures in the document about to be
processed. The available settings are: Text: One column; Text and
Pictures: One column; and Automatic.
input source—The origin of page images being recognized:
either the scanner or an image file.
ISIS—Acronym for Image and Scanner Interface Standard
developed by Pixel Translations, Inc. ISIS is an applications
programmers interface (API) for the design and development of
scanner drivers. Pixel Translations and other scanner vendors
use ISIS to develop scanner drivers. TextBridge Pro supports
most of the ISIS-compatible scanners available on the market
today. See also Adobe Photoshop Import Plug-in and TWAIN.
