Starts the character recognition.
Click the Stop button (or press Escape) to interrupt.
If learning is enabled, you’ll enter the interactive phase. (Learning does not apply to Asian documents.)
Send the recognized text to a target application, copy it to the clipboard or save it in a text file.
You can export the recognized documents in various text formats. Just change the formatting options and click the button Recognize again to reformat your OCR results!
If you have enabled autoformatting with the option Recreate Source Document, the graphic windows may be saved inside the word processor file. Otherwise, use the command Save Graphics to save the graphic zones only.
If the page analysis detected tables and the word and paragraph formatting are retained or the source document is recreated, they get recreated as table objects inside the word processor file.
Tip: right-click the mouse (Context menu) and select the command Copy as Text to recognize the window under the mouse cursor. (The OCR results get sent to the clipboard as “body text” . The regular OCR options - the current document language, font type etc. - apply.)
Tip: when you re-execute the OCR, only the new or modified windows and pages get recognized.
The pages are displayed successively; the title bar indicates the page number.
If the interactive learning is enabled, you go through the learning page by page. (The dictionary mode “New” is used for the first page and the mode “Append” for the successive pages.)
The recognition result is saved in a single output file. If you send the recognition result to a target application, various pages are created.
Tip: the option Create One Document per Page sees to it that each page of a multipage document is saved in a separate file. If the user gives the file name text.doc, the files will be called text-1.doc, text-2.doc etc.
Tip: you can exclude pages (temporarily) from the recognition (and from the image printing process).
