How to use OmniPage Pro with PaperPort
PaperPort
®
is a paper management software product from ScanSoft.
It lets you link pages with suitable applications. Pages can contain
pictures, text or both. If PaperPort exists on a computer with
OmniPage Pro, its OCR services become available and amplify the
power of PaperPort. You can choose an OCR program by right
clicking on a text application’s PaperPort link, selecting Preferences
and then selecting OmniPage Pro 12 as the OCR package. OCR
settings can be specified, as with Direct OCR.
:
Here OmniPage Pro 12 has been selected as the OCR package for
MS Word 2000. Then you can drag page images from the PaperPort
desktop onto the MS Word link on a PaperPort toolbar. While the
text is being recognized, only a progress monitor is displayed.
OmniPage Pro’s manual zoning window or proofing facility will
appear if requested. The recognition results are placed in a new
unnamed document in the target application.
If OmniPage Pro is running when Direct OCR is called from a target application,
a second instance of OmniPage Pro is launched.
See the Direct OCR topics in online Help for more information. These include a
topic Direct OCR Questions and Answers. The Readme file and the ScanSoft web
site may present more recent information relating to specific target applications.
