Introduction
Congratulations on acquiring Readiris. This software package will
undoubtedly be of great help in recapturing your texts, tables and
graphics, barcodes and handprinted text.
As efficient as computers are, you have to key in your information
first. If you have ever retyped a 15 page report or a large table of
figures, you know how tedious and time-consuming it can be. Use
this state-of-the-art OCR package to automatically convert paper
documents or scanned image files into text searchable and editable
documents that can be archived and shared.
Scan a printed or typed document, indicate the zones you want to
recognize with Readiris - or have the system detect them for you -
execute the character recognition and export the document to your
word processor. Documents composed of many pages are processed
from start to finish in a single effort. A few mouse clicks beat long
hours of work as Readiris converts your paper documents into
editable computer files: it’s up to 40 times faster than manual
retyping.
To speed up the process even more you can also use the
Drop2Read utility. Simply specify four basic settings - recognition
language, output format, destination folder and target application -
