Character recognition software (OCR)
The character recognition function allows to create a
usable data file for desktop applications from a hardcopy
document or from a picture.
The character recognition only works for printed
characters, such as printer outputs or typed text.
Nevertheless you can request for a handwritten text block
to be kept intact (a signature for instance) by outlining it.
Given your machine environment and the character
recognition from your machine, the OCR is done with a
Drag&drop of a document from the PaperPort to the
Notepad icon .
Note
If the PaperPort software is not
installed on your hard drive, the
scanned picture will appear on your
desktop in TIFF format.
