4. Scanning Text into Applications
1. In the IRISPen™ ribbon, click the tab Scan to Doc / App.
Important:
• Make sure the IRISPen™ is plugged in in a USB port. If it is not plugged in, a small cross is displayed on
the IRISPen™ icon in the System Tray.
• Make sure the correct document language is still selected. (See Step 5.)
2. Open the application in which you want to scan.
Note that the application must be text‐compatible. E.g. Microsoft Word.
3. Click and slide the IRISPen™ over the lines of text you want to scan. The recognized text appears in the
application.
If the scanning was not performed correctly, animated scanning tips appear on screen.
Notes:
By default, IRISPen™ adds a space after each scan, and adds new scans on the same line in your application
until the line is full.
To start a scan on a new line:
• Click and slide the IRISPen™ over a line of text.
• At the end of the line, click again with the IRISPen™.
The cursor now moves to the line below.
To modify the default settings, click the settings icon. Then click the Separators tab and select the
separators you want to apply.
Tips:
• Lines can either be scanned as text or as image.
Select Image when scanning mathematical formulas for instance.
• To hear the text read out loud after scanning, select Say out loud.
• To scan numbers only, select numeral scanning: 123 ...
• To scan single words, instead of full text lines, select Single word.
Place the scanner well in front of each word to start the scanning, and also end the
scanning well after each word.
