Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE lets you convert image text into text you can edit
3
Nuance™ PaperPort™ 12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.
PaperPort™ 12SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™
12SE. PaperPort™ 12SE can also use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can
convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text button from the Item tab on the ribbon, you can choose
only a portion of the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™ 12SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.

As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort™ 12SE in a variety of ways and convert them
