Scanning documents into an editing application
An Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application allows you to edit an original text document that has been
scanned. In order for this to work, you must have an OCR application stored on a local or network computer and you
must be able to choose it from the list of applications when you set up the scan.
When selecting settings for the scan:
