Basic steps in the OCR process
There are three main steps in OmniPage Pro’s OCR process. They
correspond to three large numbered buttons in the OCR Toolbar.
Documents can be processed automatically or manually. In automatic
processing, the Start button takes all specified document pages
through the whole process (1-2-3) without a stop. Processing is done
according to settings selected in pop-up menus on the OCR Toolbar
and in the Preferences dialog box. In manual processing, each step can
be performed separately and settings can be modified between each
step. The three basic steps are:
1.
Acquire page images
Scan pages or load one or more image files. See page 36. A
miniature image of each page appears in Thumbnail view, the
image of one page appears in Image view.
A layout description assists auto-zoning and a style set defines a
formatting level for the recognized pages. When processing
manually, zones should be drawn and styled at this point.
2.
Perform OCR
Pages can be recognized with or without proofing. See page 51.
During recognition, zones are automatically created on all pages
without existing zones. On pages with zones, auto-zoning can be
requested. OmniPage Pro performs OCR on text zones and can
transfer graphics zones. Recognition results appear in Text view.
3.
Export the document
The document can be saved to a specified file name and format, or
copied to Clipboard. The document remains open in OmniPage
Pro after its first export, allowing text to be further edited and
pages added or re-recognized with changed settings and zoning.
The document can be saved repeatedly, also to different saving
formats.
It can be saved as an OmniPage Document, allowing it to be
reopened later in OmniPage Pro X. See page 38, 56 and page 61.

beginning of chapter 3.
