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 www.epson.com/support/lion (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support/lion (Canada) to learn about possible updates to the software.
