Quick Start Guide
Welcome to the ScanSoft
®
OmniPage Capture Software Development Kit. It provides you with image
management and recognition technologies for building 32-bit Windows applications. We trust it will be a
productive tool in your development work. To those of you examining an evaluation copy, we hope your
experience will be positive and lead to a purchase.
The product is supplied as a download or on a single CD-ROM disk. The system requirements can be found in
the printed documentation of Capture SDK 12.0 or on the ScanSoft website
www.scansoft.com
under
Products
and
OmniPage Capture SDK
.
Here are some guidelines to help you get started without delay.
Before installing
1. Locate the serial number(s), and license codes (authorization and product codes) needed for installation. These are
found on the CD-envelope or in the delivery e-mail. See below.
2. Remove any previous Capture SDK products from ScanSoft through the Windows Control Panel item
Add/Remove programs. Please first remove any Add-on programs, leaving removal of the Development Kit to last.
3. Browse the CD for latest information: You will find up to four plain text Readme files and
ADDENDUM_OPCSDK12.5.pdf
, that summarizes the differences between versions 12.0 and 12.5. (You will find
this document after installation in the destination folder of installation as
ADDENDUM.pdf
.)
4. Check that your system meets the minimum requirements for memory and disk space and be ready to decide a
program location.
5. Ensure that web access is available for product activation at the end of installation. This can be checked using the
command line instruction:
ping license.scansoft.com
Serial numbers for new users
Find a 16-character serial number on the CD-envelope or delivery e-mail, together with license codes. The Asian
OCR add-on uses separate serial numbers and license codes.
Serial numbers when upgrading from CSDK versions 10 or 11
When upgrading from these CSDK versions or any earlier ScanSoft SDK products, the old serial numbers
cannot be re-used. Remove the old CSDK version and find the new serial number(s) and the license codes as
already described.
