document containing text that word processing applications can
recognize. You can then edit the text, format it, cut and paste it, and so
on as you would normally when word processing.
The process is not always perfect. If the scanned item contains smudges
or hand-written notes, the OCR application will try to analyze them
but, of course, won’t be able to come up with a suitable match. For that
reason you should always try to scan clean copies when planning to use
PaperPort’s OCR feature. Also, you should carefully check the converted
document to correct any mistakes that the OCR application made.
Here’s an example:
The scanned words on
this page are not text. The
words are pictures of text,
and can’t be edited in a
word processing
application. For example,
if you tried to select a line
of text to reformat it, you
couldn’t.
After being processed
with the OCR
software, the pictures of
the text are now “real” text
that a word processing
program recognizes. You
can select text, as shown
here, to edit it. This
example shows how the
converted text would
appear in Microsoft
Word.
