Full–Text Search in Recognized Batch Pages
Important! You need Internet Explorer 4.0 or later to access this option.
ABBYY FineReader allows you to search all recognized pages for words in every possible grammatical form. The search pattern may
consist of one or several words. The search term may be in any form (for languages with dictionary support), and the search process
will identify the indicated words anywhere within the text (no matter how far apart) and in any order.
To do a full–text search:
1. Select Advanced search in the Edit menu or press ALT+F3.
2. The Search window will open below the Zoom window.
3. Enter the desired text in the Find what field. You can also paste the Clipboard contents into the field or select a
previous search from the drop–down list.
4. Click Find.
The Search results window will display the list of batch page numbers that contain all of the words from the Find what field. The
date that each identified page was modified will be displayed and the first page section to contain the search pattern will be
highlighted. Click on a page number to open it in the Image, Tex t and Zoom windows. The found words will be highlighted in color
in all three windows.
Note: The search function cannot locate specialized characters, such as end–of–line characters or paragraph marks.
Automated Tasks
Very often an OCR process involves a number routine tasks such as scanning, recognition, and saving the results in a particular format.
ABBYY FineReader 8.0 offers tools for automating routine tasks for similar documents.
An automated task is a sequence of steps, each corresponding to a particular processing routine. Automated tasks are launched from
the menu of the Scan&Read button.
ABBYY FineReader 8.0 already includes three automated tasks which are ready for use and do not requir any additional settings. You
can also use an Automation Wizard to create your own automated tasks to suit your needs.
Running an Automated Task
To run an automated task:
● Click the arrow at the right of the Scan&Read button and select the required automated task, or
● Press Ctrl+W (for a previously selected task), or
● Select the required task from the Process>Automated Tasks menu, or
● Open the Automation Manager dialog, select the required automated task and click Run.
The selected task will be launched and executed. ABBYY FineReader will use the options you selected in the Options dialog (select
Tools>Options to open the dialog).
Note: If an automated task is programmed to add images to a batch which already contains some other images, ABBYY FineReader
will process only the newly added images. If an automated task is programmed to process an existing batch, ABBYY FineReader will
process all the images in this batch.
While the automated task is running, a progress dialog is displayed which lists all the steps in the task and provides tips and warnings
for each step (if any).
