Character recognition software (OCR) 
The character recognition function allows to create a 
usable data file for desktop applications from a hardcopy 
document or from a picture.
The character recognition only works for printed 
characters, such as printer outputs or typed text. 
Nevertheless you can request for a handwritten text block 
to be kept intact (a signature for instance) by outlining it. 
Given your machine environment and the character 
recognition from your machine, the OCR is done with a 
Drag&drop of a document from the PaperPort to the 
Notepad icon . 
Note
If the PaperPort software is not 
installed on your hard drive, the 
scanned picture will appear on your 
desktop in TIFF format.
