OCR Application

All documents that are scanned are treated by the computer as graphic images. Acting as an image-to-text converter, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application program recognizes letters on a page and write them into an editable text file or a text-searchable pdf file. After the scan and recognition process completes, a linked text editor or viewer automatically opens, enabling you to instantly view, correct, and edit the converted image as a text document.

The options available in the drop-down menu depends on the OCR application programs that you may have installed in your Windows. DocAction Plus has been programmed to support the following famous OCR applications in the industry to give you the convenience of single-touch OCR button operation:
