To send an item from PaperPort™12SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the
PaperPort™12SE desktop to the program icon on the bar. PaperPort™12SE automatically converts the item
to the preferred format.
If PaperPort™12SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can
manually create a link using the
New Link
button from the
Tools
tab on the ribbon.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text you
can edit
2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.
PaperPort™12SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with
PaperPort™12SE. PaperPort™12SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your
computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the
Copy Text
button from the
Items
tab on the ribbon,
you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™12SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.
