Select your scanner model - the scanner has to be connected to your PC and ready!
Readiris supports almost every flatbed and sheetfed scanner, “all-in-one” MFP (“Multifunctional Peripheral”), digital camera and scanner standard currently available. Readiris is Twain compliant.
Consult the hardware documentation that came with your scanner if you experience any problem with your scanner.
If you select “<Image>” as “scanner” model, prescanned images function as image source.
With some scanner models, image smoothening is needed to recognize color and greyscale images successfully.
Enable the option Digital Camera when the images are acquired using a digital camera.
Enable the option Process as 300 dpi.
With digital cameras, the image resolution is unknown. Thanks to this option, the images will be processed “normally”, as if they had a 300 dpi resolution. (You also avoid a warning that you’re submitting images with a resolution lower than 200 dpi or higher than 800 dpi.)
Options not supported by the selected scanner will be not displayed. With Twain compliant scanners, the scan settings are often set within the Twain interface.
Select the color mode: Readiris supports black-and-white, greyscale and color images.
Set the scanner settings: resolution, page format and orientation, brightness and contrast.
Optimal OCR requires a resolution between 300 and 400 dpi. Readiris warns you when you’re submitting images with a resolution lower than 200 dpi or higher than 800 dpi.
Tip: the option Optimize Resolution for OCR corrects the resolution of images scanned with too much detail. When the image resolution exceeds 600 dpi, the image resolution is reduced for the OCR process.
Enable the scanner’s document feeder (ADF) to scan multipage documents.
The option Invert allows the user to generate “inverted” black-and-white images. (Tip: Readiris recognizes inverted images successfully!)
With Twain and HP scanners, you can enable the auto-exposure option to automatically adjust the brightness and contrast to the scanned document.
High-speed and duplex scanning is limited to Readiris Corporate.
