OCR only a selected area

(ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE PRO VERSION)

 

To OCR only a selected area, click on the Select icon under the Home tab, and select an area on the page, and click on the OCR icon and select OCR selected area option.

 

 

When finished, Tiff Viewer opens the extracted text automatically in the configured OCR viewer application.

The OCR viewer application can be changed in the Tiff Viewer Options, on the OCR page. The default is the system default text editor (Notepad).

 

NOTE: Optical Character Recognition runs in the background, so users can use Tiff Viewer even if a very large document was selected to OCR. When the process is finished, Tiff Viewer informs the user on the status bar at the bottom of Tiff Viewer and opens the extracted text.
