  • Page 21: Introduction

    Introduction You probably use your computer for business correspondence, preparing reports, handling data and an ever-increasing number of other uses. The challenge is that, in spite of the digital revolution, certain sources of information still circulate in printed, paper form and cannot be used immediately in a computer.

  • Page 22: What Is Optical Character Recognition

    HAT IS OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION Optical character recognition is the process of extracting text from an image. This image can result from scanning a paper document or opening an electronic image file. Images do not have editable text characters; they have many tiny dots (pixels) that together form character shapes.

  • Page 23: Documents In Omnipage Se

    Documents in OmniPage SE OmniPage SE handles documents one at a time. When you acquire your first image (from scanner or from file) a new document is started. Further acquired images are added to the same document, until you save and close it.
  • Page 24 DESKTOP OmniPage SE’s desktop has a title bar and a menu bar along the top and a status bar along the bottom. It has three main working areas, separated by splitters: the Document Manager, the Original Image area and the Text Editor.

  • Page 25: The Standard Toolbar

    The OmniPage Toolbox lets you control processing. It can have three states, depending which of the three tab buttons on the left is clicked.

  • Page 26: The Image Toolbar

    The Image toolbar The Image toolbar contains buttons that allow you to zoom in or out on the current image or to rotate it. They also allow you work with zones and table dividers on the page. See chapter 3, Manual zoning and Table grids in the image.

  • Page 27: The Omnipage Toolbox

    The OmniPage Toolbox This Toolbox lets you drive the processing. By default it is located along the top of the OmniPage SE desktop, just above the working areas. It can be floated and also be docked along the bottom of the desktop. It has three tabs on the left: AutoOCR™, Manual OCR and OCR Wizard.

  • Page 28: Managing Documents

    ANAGING DOCUMENTS The Document Manager is situated on the left of the OmniPage SE desktop. It has two tabbed panels: Thumbnail view and Detail view. Click a tab to see its view. Both views summarize the pages in the document and are synchronized: the current and selected pages remain the same when you switch views.

  • Page 29: Detail View

    Detail view This facility is new to OmniPage SE. It provides an overview of your document with a table. Each row represents one page. Columns present statistical or status information for each page, and (where appropriate) document totals.

  • Page 41 7. If you requested proofing and the text contains suspect words, the OCR Proofreader™ dialog box will appear. When proofing is finished or closed, recognition results either go directly to the Clipboard, or the Save As dialog box appears so you can specify file export settings.

  • Page 42: Processing Documents Automatically

    ROCESSING DOCUMENTS AUTOMATICALLY Automatic processing provides an efficient way of handling documents, especially larger ones. First you select all settings needed, then you can use the AutoOCR™ toolbar in the OmniPage Toolbox to process a new document from start to finish or to restart and finish processing on an open document.

  • Page 43: Command Buttons

    6. Click Start or choose Start in the Process menu. Each page of the document is processed and finished one after the other. The program may perform tasks simultaneously, for instance it may start loading and recognizing a new page as you proofread the previous page. Command buttons Start: This lets you begin automatic processing on a new document.

  • Page 44: Processing Documents Manually

    ROCESSING DOCUMENTS MANUALLY Manual processing gives you more precise control over the way your pages are handled. You can process the document page-by-page with different settings for each page. The program also stops between each step: acquiring images, performing recognition, exporting. This lets you, for instance, draw zones manually on each page.
  • Page 45 6. Select a value for the Perform OCR button. You describe the layout of the incoming pages. This value has an influence if auto-zoning runs on any pages. You can also select a template to have its zones placed on the current page. For more detail see the sections Describing the layout of the document and Using zone templates.

  • Page 46: Processing A Document Automatically And Finishing It Manually

    ROCESSING A DOCUMENT AUTOMATICALLY AND FINISHING IT MANUALLY When you have a large document with only a few pages needing special attention, you do not have to manually process the whole document. You can process it automatically and view results in the Text Editor. You can determine which pages are in order, and which need different settings or some manual zoning.

  • Page 47: Processing From Other Applications

    ROCESSING FROM OTHER APPLICATIONS You can use the Direct OCR feature to call on the recognition services of OmniPage SE 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.

  • Page 48: How To Use Omnipage Se With Your Paperport Software

    6. If proofing was specified, this follows recognition. Then the recognized text is placed at the cursor position in your application, with the formatting level specified by Acquire Text Settings..Note If OmniPage SE is running when Direct OCR is called from a target application, a second instance of OmniPage SE is launched.
  • Page 49 ROCESSING DOCUMENTS WITH CHEDULE You can schedule OCR jobs to be performed automatically at any time within the following 24 hours. Each job handles one document. The document pages can come from a scanner with an ADF or from image files. You do not have to be present at your computer at job start time, nor does OmniPage SE have to be running.

  • Page 50: Defining The Source Of Page Images

    EFINING THE SOURCE OF PAGE IMAGES There are two possible image sources: from image files and from a scanner. There are two main types of scanners: flatbed or sheetfed. A scanner may have a built-in or added Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), which makes it easier to scan multi-page documents.

  • Page 51: Setting Up Your Scanner With Omnipage Se

    Normally the Add button places each file at the bottom of the file list. To place a file at a different location, highlight a file in the list. The new file will be added immediately below the lowest highlighted file. Input from scanner You must have a functioning, supported scanner correctly installed with OmniPage SE.

  • Page 52: Scanning With An Adf

    Brightness and contrast Good brightness and contrast settings play an important role in OCR accuracy. Set these in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box. The diagram illustrates an optimum brightness setting. After loading an image, check its appearance. If characters are thick and touching, lighten the brightness.

  • Page 53: Scanning Long Documents Without An Adf

    You can scan double-sided documents with an ADF. A duplex scanner will manage this automatically. For non-duplex scanners, select ‘Scan double-sided pages’ in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box. Then you can scan the document in just a few passes, with even pages grouped together and odd pages also grouped.
  • Page 54 Single column, no table Choose this setting if your pages contain only one column of text and no table. Business letters or pages from a book are normally like this. Choose it also for a page with words or numbers arranged in columns if you do not want these placed in a table or decolumnized or treated as separate columns.

  • Page 55: Manual Zoning

    ANUAL ZONING Zones define areas on the page to be processed. Zones are rectangular or irregular (with sides formed by vertical and horizontal lines). Zones cannot overlap. They have a zone number in the top left corner and a zone type icon top right. Click in a zone to select it. Use Shift+clicks for a multiple selection.

Table zones must be rectangular. The Text Editor displays the table in an editable grid. You can choose whether to export tables in grids or in columns separated by tabs.

  • Page 58: Table Grids In The Image

    ABLE GRIDS IN THE IMAGE After automatic processing you may see table zones placed on a page. They are denoted with a table zone icon in the top right corner of the zone. To change a zone to or from a table zone, use its shortcut menu. You can also draw a table type zone.
