Convert Scanned Documents to Editable Text (OCR)
You can scan a document and convert the text into data that you can edit with a word processing,
spreadsheet, or HTML-editing program. This process is called OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
To scan and use OCR, you need to install an OCR program, such as ABBYY FineReader.
Note:
You can use ABBYY FineReader to convert scanned documents to editable text in Mac OS X
10.6. First, scan and save your document using an application such as Image Capture. Then open
ABBYY FineReader, open the
Get Images From
pop-up menu and select
File
. Select the conversion
option you want to use, then select your scanned file and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note:
ABBYY FineReader is not supported on Mac OS X 10.7. Check the Epson support site at
