Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

DocuMate 250 Scanner User's Guide
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers
on a scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then
work with the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or
type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.
NOTE: For all OCR processing, use the original factory settings
for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning
with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the
original documents are of poor quality and have small type, 400
dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.
You must have the OmniPage Pro software installed on your
computer in order to use the OCR options with the One Touch 4.0
software and your DocuMate 250 scanner. One Touch 4.0 and
OmniPage Pro work together to combine scanning with OCR
processing into one integrated step. OmniPage Pro is on the Disc 2
CD that you received with your scanner in case you haven't
installed it yet.
If OmniPage Pro is installed, the OCR process is automatic when
the format on the One Touch Properties window is a text format,
such as DOC, TEXT, RTF, XLS, HTML and so forth.
To scan with OCR:
1. Select a Destination Application that has one of the Text
formats (such as DOC, TEXT, RTF, XLS, or HTML).
2. Scan the document.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with
their text ready for editing and other text processing.
NOTE: If OmniPage Pro is not installed on your computer, items
scanned as a text format are still converted with the OCR
process, however, the options available with the process are
then limited.
