General Information on Saving Recognized Text
You may:
● save recognized text using the Save Wizard,
● save opened or selected pages to a file or send them to an external application,
● save all the batch pages to a file or export them into an external application,
● save page image.
Click the 4–Save button to send the recognition results to the application you need or save them to a file. The
icon appearance changes to reflect the current saving mode. The Save button caption displays the name of the
currently selected export application.
To save recognized text:
1. Click on the downward–pointing arrow to the right to the 4–Save button and select the desired item in the local
menu.
Note: To save a specific number of pages, select them prior to clicking the 4–Save button.
After the export is finished, the 4–Save button icon will change to reflect the previous action (sending the recognized text to an
application, sending it by e–mail, copying it to the Clipboard or saving it to a file). The last export mode becomes the default for the 4–
Save button, so that clicking the icon will use that save option without going to the button’s local menu.
Saving Options
The saving options are set before saving, on the the Save tab in Options dialog (Tools>Options menu). Some saving options can also
be set in the Save Wizard, and Save Pages, E–mail Pages and E–mail Images dialogs. This section will outline:
● Fonts to use
● Save all or selected batch pages
● Recognized text saving modes
Fonts to use (when saving in RTF/DOC/Word XML, PPT or HTML format)
The fonts specified on the Save tab are used as the default when saving in RTF/DOC/Word XML, PPT or HTML formats. You can
specify which fonts are used. To change fonts, go to the Te xt window or select other fonts on the Save tab in the Fonts group.
Save all or selected batch pages
You may choose to save all of the pages in a batch or only selected ones. To save specific pages, select them before saving.
Recognized text saving modes (when saving several batch pages at a time)
● Create a separate file for each page – The program saves each batch page as a separate file. The batch page
number is automatically appended to the file name.
● Name files as source images – This option saves each page in a separate file and retains the name of the
original image.
Note:
1. Pages that are un–related to the original image (e.g. scanned pages) will not be saved in this mode. A
warning will be displayed when this type of page is encountered.
2. If consecutive batch pages share the same image as the original image or if all images have identical
names, the program will treat the pages as a multi–page TIFF and save the text into a single file. If
several pages have identical names but are not in consecutive order, the pages will be treated as
individual image files, and the text will be saved in different files, with an index appended to their file
names (_1, _2, etc.).
