Compaq P/N DOC-FB4B - Manual (Page 7)

1-3
OCR: Software in this category is designed to recognize alphanumeric
characters in preparation for export to word processing and desktop
publishing applications. In other terms, it creates text files. OCR
software will not provide image editing capabilities. If there is no
intention of editing a given piece of text (with or without graphics), it
may be simpler to scan and save it as a graphic. OCR is one of many
scanning control features included in the InfoCenter application
software.
Additional types of applications are available that offer solutions for
special or unique tasks. These include document storage, form
scanning, fax utilities, copy utilities, custom screen saver creation,
photo album creation, and so on. If applications are intended to link
directly to the scanning device, look for the TWAIN-compliant
specification. If compliant, they are compatible with Info ImageReader
scanners.
