OCR Aware
OCR Aware is WordScan’s ability to link to other
applications. It allows you to start WordScan directly from
your application’s File menu, process acquired images, and
insert the text into your open application.
To add WordScan into your favorite application, you must
have both WordScan and the other application open.
1. In WordScan, click on OCR Aware in the Tools menu
to open the OCR Aware dialog box.
2. Click on the application name in the Unregistered
Applications list box and click on the
Add arrow to
move the application to the Registered Applications
list box.
The next time you open your application, you will see
Acquire Text in the File menu.
Drag & Drop (File Manager & OLE 2.0)
Drag and drop allows you to select an image file or group
of similar files from the File Manager, or an OLE 2.0
image object, and drag it into WordScan to start
recognition.
‰
If the WordScan window is open, select an image file
and drag it into the Preview area or onto the
WordScan icon. If the WordScan icon is minimized,
you will have to open WordScan to start processing.
