Basic Processing Steps
There are three ways of handling
documents: with automatic, manual or workflow processing.
The basic steps for all processing methods are broadly
the same:
Bring a set of images into OmniPage. You can
scan a paper document with or without an Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF) or load one or more image files.
Perform
OCR to generate editable text. After OCR, you can
check and correct errors in the document using the
OCR Proofreader and edit the document in the Text
Editor.
Export the document to the desired location.
You can save your document to a specified file name
and type, place it on the Clipboard, send it as a
mail attachment or publish it. You can save the same
document repeatedly to different destinations, different
file types, with different settings and levels of
formatting.
Using OmniPage, you can choose from the
following processing methods: Automatic, Manual, Combined,
or Workflow. You can start recognition from other applications,
using Direct OCR and can also schedule processing to
run at a later time.
Processing methods are detailed
in the next chapter and in Online Help.
Settings
The Options dialog box is the central location for
OmniPage settings. Access it from the Standard toolbar
or the Tools menu. Context-sensitive help provides information
on each setting.
