Convert Scanned Documents to Editable Text (OCR)
You can scan a document and convert the text into data that you can edit with a word processing,
spreadsheet, or HTML-editing program. This process is called OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
To scan and use OCR, you need to install an OCR program, such as ABBYY FineReader.
In Mac OS X 10.6/10.7/10.8, you can use ABBYY FineReader to convert scanned documents to editable
text by first using an application such as Image Capture. Scan and save your document in Image
Capture, then open ABBYY FineReader, open the
Get Images From
pop-up menu, and select
File
.
Select the conversion option you want to use, then select your scanned file and follow the instructions on
the screen.
Note:
With Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8, in addition to scanning with Image Capture, you can download
and install Epson Scan scanning software. Epson Scan provides additional image adjustment and photo
correction features for enhancing scanned images, and provides an interface for TWAIN-compliant OCR
scanning software, such as ABBYY FineReader. To download Epson Scan, visit Epson's driver
download site (
