If you can send e-mail from your computer, you can send any scanned
item as an e-mail attachment, including scanned pages, graphics, and
photos. You can use either the e-mail link icon or a convenient Send
command to attach an item to an e-mail message.

PaperPort can quickly convert the text on a scanned item, which is really
just a picture of the text, into text that you can edit with a word
processing application. PaperPort converts the text using either the
Visioneer optical character recognition (OCR) application that comes
with PaperPort, or your OCR application if it’s already on your
computer. You can convert the entire item, or using the Copy As Text
command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

If you are using a Visioneer scanner, such as the PaperPort Strobe or vx,
the software has another built-in application, called ScanDirect, that
you can use to send a scanned item directly to an application without
opening PaperPort. This is a real time saver if you use one linked
application often. PaperPort does not need to be running, and a scanned
item can go directly to the other application.

A word processor link
icon. Dragging an item
onto this link icon
starts PaperPort’s
built-in OCR
application, or you
can use your own OCR
application.
