Converting Images to Text

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the process of turning an image

into computer-editable text so you do not have to retype the text

manually. The basic steps of OmniPage Pro’s OCR process are explained

on page 9. The following is a summary of those steps.

1 Bring a document image into OmniPage Pro.

2 Select settings in the Options dialog box and processing

commands in the toolbar drop-down lists. These selections will

affect OCR results.

3 Perform OCR automatically, manually, using the OCR Wizard,

or in another application to create zones on the image and

convert text information into editable text characters.

4 Save the document to the desired location.

During OCR, OmniPage Pro uses the selected settings and commands in

the Options dialog box and the OmniPage Toolbox to determine the text

flow on a page, and creates ordered

zones

around areas of a page image

to identify what will be recognized as text or retained as a graphic.

OmniPage Pro only recognizes machine-printed characters such as

laser-printed or typewritten text. However, it can retain handwritten

text, such as a signature, as a graphic.
