Proofreading OCR Results
After performing OCR, recognized text appears in the text viewer where
you can proofread the results. Proofreading starts automatically if you
chose OCR and Proof as the OCR process command.
OmniPage Pro marks suspected errors in green and inserts a red “reject”
character for any character it cannot recognize. To turn off these color
markers, choose Show Markers in the View menu so that it is deselected.
To proofread OCR results and correct errors:
1 Click the Proofread OCR button or choose Proofread OCR... in
the Tools menu.
If a suspected error is detected, the OCR Proofreader dialog
box displays the error and a picture of how it originally looked
in the image.
2 Select one of these options for the word:
• Click Ignore to allow the word to remain as is.
• Click Ignore All to ignore all instances of the word in the
current document.
• Click Change to replace the word with the word in the Change
to edit box.
• Click Change All to replace all instances of the word with the
word in the Change to edit box.
This window shows a picture of
the original image. Click inside it
to enlarge or reduce the picture.
You can also drag a corner of the
dialog box to see more areas of
the image.
This is what OmniPage Pro
thought the word was.
