OCR Aware Notes

The OCR Aware feature adds an 

Acquire Text

 command to the File 

menu of major text-based applications. You can use this to load 
an image file and perform OCR on the spot. For complete 
information on using OCR Aware, please see OmniPage Pro’s 
online help.

Registering Applications With OCR Aware

OCR Aware supports 32-bit applications and 16-bit applications. 
Applications must be registered in the 

OCR Aware

 section of the 

Options dialog box. The easiest way to register an application is 
to launch the application first. Any application that is running 
automatically appears in the 

Unregistered

 list. Click 

Add

 to add a 

selected application to the 

Registered

 list. Some applications 

must

 

be registered this way rather than using the 

Browse

 button. 

Otherwise, they may not be registered correctly. 

Please note the following:

• This version of OCR Aware does not allow direct scanning.
• OCR Aware is not compatible with the 2.x versions of 

America Online (AOL). Before running these versions of 
AOL, please turn off OCR Aware. To do so, open 
OmniPage Pro for Visioneer PaperPort, choose 

Options...

 in 

the Tools menu, click the 

OCR Aware

 tab. Deselect 

Enable 

OCR Aware

OCR Aware is compatible with AOL 3.0. Please contact AOL 
about upgrading your version.

• OCR Aware commands do not appear right away in the 

Excel 7.0 File menu. To make the commands appear, 
minimize and then restore Excel or switch to another 
application and back.

• OCR Aware cannot automatically paste text into Quattro 

Pro; text is placed on the Clipboard instead.

• OCR Aware may not paste text into separate cells correctly 

in spreadsheet applications. For best results, recognize 
spreadsheet images in OmniPage Pro and then save them
