AXIS Scan Server and ZyImage

Introduction

ZyImage is a program that enables OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on TIFF-files.

The words are automatically stored in correct order. OCR creates an index in which

keywords can be sought. If a keyword is found, documents containing the word will be

displayed. By double clicking on a document, the TIFF-image will be displayed with

highlighted keywords. This is what ZyLab calls WYHIWYG (What You Had Is What You

Get).

ZyImage 98 consists of three programs:

1. ZyScan is used for OCR on TIFF-files. The TIFF-files can be scanned from paper

within ZyScan or imported from the hard drive.

2. ZyIndex is used for creating an index (or updating an already existing index).

3. ZyFind can locate indexed documents containing a certain word.
