TextBridge is a program used to scan text and to edit it in a word
processor. You will find an extensive manual for the program on the
CD-ROM.

The scanner is adjusted for using the software during the installation of
the application.

Click ‘END’ to conclude the scanning. The text recognition facility
will now start automatically. Afterwards, a window will appear and
you will be asked whether you want to store the scanned text.
