Opening images
Even if you don’t have a scanner, you can still recognize image files (see the list of supported
image formats under “Supported Image Formats").
To open an image:
z Click on the arrow to the right of the 1Scan button and select the Open
Image item in the local menu. The appearance of the 1Scan button icon
will change – the Scan caption will be replaced with the Open caption.
z Select the Open image item in the File menu.
z In Windows Explorer: rightclick the image file you wish to open and select
the Open with FineReader item in the local menu. If FineReader is already
running, the image will be added to the current batch. Otherwise, before the
image is added, FineReader will be launched and the most recently used
batch opened.
Select one or several images in the
Open dialog. The selected images will be displayed in the
Batch window, and the last selected image displayed in the Image and Zoom windows. All
selected images are copied into the batch folder. See “General Information on Working with
Batches” section for more information on batch organization and the way in which pages
are displayed within batches.
Tip: If you want the opened images to be recognized right away, select
Open&Read
mode:
1. Select the
Open&Read item in the Process menu or just press
CTRL+SHIFT+D. The Open dialog will open.
2. Select the images for recognition in the
Open dialog.
Scanning dual pages
When scanning a book, although it is easier to scan both the left and right pages (i.e. a so
called ‘dual page’) at the same time, recognition quality is higher if, after scanning, the page
is split into two, with each page corresponding to a single book page. Recognition and lay
out analysis are then performed separately for each page, along with deskewing if required.
To split a dual page:
z Select the Split Dual Pages option on the Scan/Open Image tab
(
Tools>Options menu) before scanning.
Consequently, each dual page will be split into two batch pages. See “General Information
on Working with Batches” section for more information on batches.
