Links to Many Other Applications PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a "working link" to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it. This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®. If PaperPort® does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link command. (See PaperPort® Help for more information about creating new links.) Using ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR (Converting Image Text to Text You Can Edit) Software by: ScanSoft™ Images created on your copyboard and scanned into your computer cannot be converted to text using TextBridge® OCR software, the handwritten image on the board is saved as an image file. TextBridge® OCR is automatically installed when you install PaperPort® on your computer. PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort® item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort® uses the optical character recognition application TextBridge®, which comes with PaperPort®-OR-PaperPort® uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert. Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort®'s built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application. USING PAPERPORT® AND TEXTBRIDGE® 2-3
