Q |
Do I have to launch OmniPage manually in order to scan or load and recognize a document? |
|
A |
No. If OmniPage is installed on your computer, you can use the Direct OCR feature to scan and process documents from within your word processing or spreadsheet program without opening OmniPage. Indeed, if OmniPage is already running when Direct OCR is requested, a second instance of the program is started. |

Q |
How do I know if Direct OCR is enabled? |
|

Look in the General panel of the OmniPage Options dialog box. Make sure Enable Direct OCR is selected. |

Q |
Can I use my scanner’s ADF with Direct OCR? |
|
A |
Yes. OmniPage supports automatic document feeders for Direct OCR. It will process all pages found in the ADF. When scanning multiple-page documents without an ADF, you need to choose Prompt for more pages in the Scanner panel. You can load multiple image files. |

Q |
Do the selections I make under Acquire Text Settings affect the settings in the OmniPage Options dialog box? |
