Proofreading OCR Results

After performing OCR, recognized text appears in the text view where you can proofread the results. Proofreading starts automatically if you are processing your document using the AutoOCR toolbar.

OmniPage Pro marks suspected errors in green and inserts a red “reject” character for any character it cannot recognize. To turn off these color markers, choose Show Markers in the View menu so that it is deselected.

To proofread OCR results and correct errors:

  1. Click the Proofread OCR button in the Standard toolbar or choose Proofread OCR... in the Tools menu.

    If a suspected error is detected, the OCR Proofreader dialog box displays the error and a picture of how it originally looked in the image.

  2. Select how you want OmniPage Pro to treat the word.

    After you choose an option for the word, the OCR Proofreader looks for the next possible error.

  3. Click Close to stop proofreading OCR.

    Color markers are removed from words that have been proofread.
