In order to use the following documentation, you
need

A document sheet feeder
is recommended but not necessary
|
|
|
Arrange the documents you would like to scan in the
automatic document feeder on top of the scanner face up (This
setting might be different for different scanners).
Alternatively, you can scan each page individually using the
scanner glass surface. Place the page face-down on the scanner glass
surface.
|
|
|
Open OmniPage Pro. Start > Programs
> ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 11.0 > OmniPage Pro 11.0.

Click on the OCR
Wizard
button. Click on the Wizard
icon on the toolbar.
|

In the new window that
pops up, select Paper Document in my scanner.

or colored, shady backgrounds. |
|

|
| |
|
Click Next.
|
|
|
In the next window,
select the option which describes how your document looks. If you are not sure, select
Let OmniPage decide (auto).
Click Next.
|
|
|
Select the language your document
contains. The default language is English.
|
|
 |
Select "More Accurate" for the OCR Method.
Click Next.
|
| |
 |
Select how much of the
original document's formatting you wish to retain.
In most cases, you should
select "None, I only want plain text". This option returns just the
text portion of the document with no formatting.

 |
Proofreading: By
checking Yes, after the scanning is complete, OmniPage will present the
text that it does not understand and give you the opportunity to correct
it before saving it.
Intellitrain: You should normally check Yes for this option.
As you make corrections to the Proof-read document, OmniPage will remember
your corrections and apply them to any similar text that it encounters.
Click Next.
|
| |
 |
Export document: The best practice is to
save the scanned text directly to Microsoft Word. OmniPage will
create a Microsoft Word document with the scanned text saved into it.
Click Finish.
 Depending
on how many pages you have and the options you selected, this step might
take a few minutes.
|
| |
 |
If you are using a sheet feeder attached to
your scanner, you can scan double-sided sheets using the following method.
First, place all of the odd-numbered sheets
face-up in the document feeder and scan them.
When the scanning of the odd pages is
complete, a window will appear on your screen prompting you to place all
of the even-numbered sheets face-up in the document feeder to scan them.
You have the option to scan the sheets in ascending or descending order.
If you are not scanning double-sided
sheets, you can ignore the window shown below and click Cancel, otherwise
click OK.
|
| |
 |
If you selected proofreading, the
proofreader window pops up after the first page is scanned. It is
recommended not to start proofreading until all the pages have been
scanned first.
Once all the documents have been scanned, hit Resume
on the proofreader window.
|
| |
 |
The proofreader works like the Spell
Checker in a word processing program. It gives you options for what it
thinks the word is, and asks you for what the original word was supposed
to be. Select the correct option or input your own corrections or hit
Ignore if the word is correct in its present form.
|
| |
 |
After you are done proofreading the whole
document, a window pops up telling you that the OCR proofreading is
complete. Hit OK.
|
| |
 |
After the proofreading is done, a window
appears on the screen asking you to save the file.
 Be sure to save it as a Word
Document (*.doc)
Check
the box next to Save and Launch if you want Microsoft Word to open
up the document automatically after you save it.
Enter a File Name in the File Name box. Click OK.
