Introduction to
OmniPage Web
You probably have documents lying on your desk that you would like
to share with the rest of your company, or, perhaps, the rest of the world.
You could photocopy the information and mail it to anyone who might
be interested, or you could retype it and hand-code it in HTML format.
Neither of these is an appealing option.
OmniPage Web offers a smart solution to increase your productivity
and the visibility of your documents. OmniPage Web’s
optical character
recognition (OCR) technology accurately and easily converts scanned
paper documents and image files into editable text. Once you have
converted your paper documents into electronic ones, OmniPage Web
outlines the document structure and creates a complete, dynamic Web
site with separate Web pages for each chapter or section. OmniPage Web
even creates hypertext links, navigation tools, and a hyperlinked table of
contents.
Within minutes you have an HTML file that can be published to the
World Wide Web, or your company’s intranet, making your documents
instantly available to anyone in the world.
