What to expect from OCR programs
Optical character recognition programs convert some text more
accurately than other text. Because OCR technology is never perfect,
proofread all converted text carefully to ensure the characters have
been correctly interpreted.
These types of text convert most accurately:
●
text in standard fonts
●
text in 9-point font or larger
●
crisp, clear text
●
black text on a white background
These types of text might convert less accurately:
●
text close to non-text elements, such as bullets, lines, or graphics
●
text in spreadsheets, tables, or forms
●
letters that have gaps, that “bleed” along their edges, or that touch
other letters
●
underlined text
●
text on colored paper
Handwriting cannot be converted.
Supported word-processing programs
By default, text converted using the OCR program appears in Microsoft
Word or SimpleText. By changing the settings for the
E
DIT
T
EXT
button,
you can have text appear in a different, supported program instead.
See
"Changing settings for buttons" on page 25
. The
Edit
Text
tab on
the
Buttons
tab of the
HP ScanJet Controls
dialog box will display
the supported programs installed on the computer.
