Scheduling OCR

You can schedule OCR to take place on one or more OmniPage documents, supported image files, and pages in your scanner. This processing can take place while you are away from your computer as long as OmniPage Pro is still running. Scheduled documents are opened at the specified time, unfinished pages are recognized, and the documents are saved in a preselected format and location.

NOTE: Scheduled documents are deleted from the processing queue if you close OmniPage Pro. Therefore, you should keep OmniPage Pro running until the documents are processed.

Scheduling Individual Documents

You can schedule individual documents from different folders. Scheduled documents are recognized at the specified time and then saved in the designated output folder.

To schedule individual documents:

  1. Choose Schedule OCR... in the Process menu.

    The Schedule OCR dialog box appears.

  2. Click Add... to open the Add Jobs dialog box.

  3. Locate and select the files you want to add to the schedule.

    You can select OmniPage Documents and supported image files.

  4. Click Open after selecting the desired files.

    The Schedule OCR dialog box displays the newly added files.

  5. Select the time that you want OmniPage Pro to process the scheduled documents.

  6. Select Finish now if you want OmniPage Pro to process all scheduled documents as soon as you close the dialog box.

  7. Click OK in the Schedule OCR dialog box to save your settings as specified.

    All scheduled files are processed, in order, at the scheduled time.
