Text Editors
Scanning to a text editing application, such as Microsoft’s Notepad or WordPad, automatically converts the text in
the scanned image into editable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
Supported file types
—the text file formats and destination applications are only available if an OCR module or
application is installed. Please refer to
Text Formats
on page 66 to see a list of text file formats that are available
when OCR is installed. Additionally, the available file formats are application specific, for example Microsoft’s
WordPad can open *.txt and *.rtf files, so only those two file types will be available when scanning to WordPad.
Note that when there is no OCR module or application installed, the format panel will not contain a text icon and
there will be no text editor applications in the Select destination list.
Destination type
—this destination type is classified as a “Text Based Link”. To make it available in the destination
list, you must select Text editing applications on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window. If the text
editing application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can add the application using
the Text Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.
1.
In the OneTouch Properties window select one of the default text editors such as WordPad.
2.
Click on the
Properties
button to open the Text Document OneTouch Link Properties window. From this
window you can select what OneTouch should do when text is not detected or recognition fails, and add other
applications to OneTouch.
Note that if you recently installed an application, click the
Refresh
button to see if OneTouch will automatically
configure the link before you try adding it manually.
