Readiris is a tool to convert pictures of documents into actual documents. When you scan or open and image in
the software the first thing it does is analyze the page and puts color coded boxes over various sections of the
document to tell you what it intends to do with those sections if converting to a text based format such as
Microsoft Word.
The zones correspond to the tools in the Zone Tab. Whatever information that is contained in the area within a
zone will be converted to the format indicated by the color code on the zone. Information not contained in a
zone will be ignored.
