• A sound card and speaker for reading text aloud.

Using OmniPage

Kofax OmniPage Ultimate uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to transform text from

scanned pages or image files into editable text for use in your favorite computer applications.

In addition to text recognition, OmniPage can retain the following elements and attributes of a document

through the OCR process:

• Graphics (photos, logos)

and form elements.

An OmniPage Document (.opd) contains the original page images (optionally pre-processed) with any

zones placed on them. After recognition, the OPD also contains the recognition results.

An OmniPage Document can contain an embedded user dictionary, training file, zone template file, or

an image enhancement template file. This can increase file size considerably but makes the OPD more

portable. To embed a file, open the relevant dialog box from the Tools menu, select the desired file and

click Embed. Use the Extract button to get a local copy of an embedded file inside an OPD you have

received.

When you open an OmniPage Document, its settings are applied, replacing those existing in the program.

• Flexible View: Provides an alternate layout of the OmniPage function panels stacked in a tabbed view

In Classic View, the default OmniPage Desktop has four main tiled working areas, separated by splitters:

the Document Manager, the Page Image, Thumbnails and the Text Editor. The Page Image has an Image

toolbar and the Text Editor has a Formatting toolbar.

Processing documents

This tutorial chapter describes different ways you can process a document and also provides information

on key parts of this processing.

Manual

Manual processing gives you more precise control over the way your pages are handled. You can process

the document page-by-page with different settings for each page. The program also stops between

each step: acquiring images, performing recognition, exporting. This lets you, for instance, draw zones

manually or change recognition languages. You start each step by clicking the three buttons on the

OmniPage Toolbox.

1. Use button one to get a set of images.

2. Manually zone pages where you want to process only part of the page or if you want to give precise

Good brightness and contrast settings play an important role in OCR accuracy. Set these in the Scanner

panel in the Options dialog box or in your scanner interface. After loading an image, check its appearance.

If characters are thick and touching, lighten the brightness. If characters are thin and broken, darken it.

Use the OCR Brightness tool to optimize the image.

strengthen letter outlines: to do this, select the checkbox Inverse despeckling. O. AR.

and other elements can be dropped from the images, leaving only the respondent data

visible and ready for OCR. P/O. WH.

Resolution Use this tool to decrease the resolution of your primary image in percentages. Note that

you cannot adjust a resolution higher than that of the original one. P. WH.

Deskew Sometimes pages are crooked when scanned. To straighten the lines of text manually, use

the Deskew tool. (Auto-deskew is also available in the Process panel of Options.) P+O.

page returns with an ignore background and new zones round all elements found on the background.

Auto-zoning vertical text

If you set Japanese, Korean or Chinese as the recognition language, auto-zoning will find text blocks and

detect the text direction.

Vertical Asian text appears horizontally in the Text Editor, but can be exported as vertical.

Auto-zoning detects vertical texts in non-Asian languages in table cells and anywhere on Normal PDF or

Vertical text outside tables can be manually zoned, as described below. This allows multiple vertical lines

to be handled correctly.

Each zone has a zone type. Zones containing text can also have a zone contents setting: alphanumeric or

numeric. The zone type and zone contents together constitute the zone properties. Right-click in a zone to

open a shortcut menu with options to change the zone properties. Select multiple zones with Shift+clicks

to change their properties in one step.

Speed zoning lets you do manual zoning quickly. Activate the zone selection cursor, and then move the

cursor over the page image. Shaded areas will appear, showing the auto-detected zones. Double-click to

transform a shaded area into a zone.

After automatic processing, you may see table zones placed on a page. They are denoted with a table

You draw or move table dividers to determine where gridlines will appear when the table is placed in

the Text Editor. You can draw or resize a table zone (provided it stays rectangular) to discard unneeded

columns or rows from the outer edges of a table.

Using the table tools, you can insert row and column dividers; or move and remove dividers. Click the

Place / Remove all dividers tool to have dividers in a table auto-detected and placed.

You can specify line formatting for table borders and grids from a shortcut menu. You will have greater

choice for editing borders and shading in the Text Editor after recognition.

Editor True Page formatting level, this changes the zones on that page.

• Click to turn on-the-fly editing off. Your zoning changes are stored; the on-the-fly tool displays a

menu item in the Format menu or the Text Editor shortcut menu.

Redacting is blacking out confidential information. It is unreadable and unsearchable. To mark and redact

text manually, click the Mark for redacting tool and use its cursor to select all the text parts you want to

redact. They appear with a gray highlight. When you are ready, click the Redact Document tool. Choose

to do redaction in a copy (safer) or the original document. If you choose to redact a copy, both the copy

and the original remain open in OmniPage, ready to be saved.
