OCR projects
While working with the program, you can save your interim results in an OCR project so that you can
resume your work where you left off. An OCR project contains the source images, the text that has been
recognized on the images, your program settings, and any user patterns , languages or language
groups that you have created.
This section covers the following topics:
· Opening a previously saved OCR project
· Using settings from earlier versions of ABBYY FineReader
· Adding images to an OCR project
· Removing pages from an OCR project
· Saving an OCR project
· Closing an OCR project
· Splitting an OCR project into several projects
· Reordering pages in an OCR project
· Working with document metadata
· Working with patterns and languages
Opening an OCR project
When you launch the OCR Editor, a new OCR project is created by default. You can either work this
new OCR project or open an existing one.
To open an existing OCR project:
1. Click File > Open OCR Project....
2. In the dialog box that opens, select the OCR project that you want to open.
If you open an OCR project that was created in an earlier version of the program, ABBYY FineReader
will try to convert it into the new format used by the current version. This conversion cannot be undone,
so you will be prompted to save your OCR project under a different name. The recognized text from the
old project will not be carried over into the new project. To recognize the pages in the OCR project, click
the button.
Tip. If you want the last used OCR project to open when you launch the OCR Editor, select Open the
last used OCR project on the General tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... top
open this dialog box).
You can also right-click an OCR project in Windows Explorer and select Open in ABBYY FineReader
14. OCR projects are marked with the icon.
