Improving Speed
Direct is designed to run automatically — making text recognition easy
and effortless. However, the automatic features take longer to work. De-
selecting
Auto Intensity
and manually setting other options will make
Direct run much faster.
Auto Intensity
The Auto Intensity feature uses Caere AnyPage or HP AccuPage
technology to improve accuracy considerably if your page is dirty, if text
is printed on a colored background, or if the page has shading from a copy
machine. This feature is available on grayscale scanners.
However, if you scan high-quality documents with crisp, black letters
printed on white paper, recognition is much faster with this setting turned
off. Deselect
Auto Intensity
to activate the manual Brightness control in the
Options dialog box.
Page Layout
Select
Single column
when there is one column on a page as with
correspondence. Select
Spreadsheet/Tables
when scanning a table, financial
form, or spreadsheet.
Partial Page
The Partial Page feature lets you draw selection boxes around just the
parts of a page you want recognized. Using this feature, you don’t need to
wait while Direct recognizes unnecessary text.
For tutorial-like instructions on how to use the Partial Page feature, see
Chapter 2, How to Scan Text.
