Processing with Schedule OCR
You can schedule OCR jobs to be performed automatically at any time
within the following eight days. The job pages can come from a scanner
with an ADF or from image files. You do not have to be present at your
computer at job start time, nor does OmniPage Pro have to be running. It
does not matter if your computer is turned off after the job is set up, so long
as it is running at job start time. If you are scanning pages, your scanner
must be functioning at job start time, with the pages loaded in the ADF.
Here is how to set up a job:
1. Click Schedule OCR in the Process menu or in the Windows Start
menu: select ProgramsScanSoftOmniPage Pro 12.0Schedule
OCR.
2. The Schedule OCR dialog box appears. Click New... to get the New
Job Wizard. It takes you through six panels, similar to the OCR
Wizard.
3. In the first panel you define image source: scanner with ADF or file.
4. The next two panels are similar to those in the OCR Wizard, but you
can also specify a user or professional dictionary and a training file.
Whether IntelliTrain runs or not depends on the setting in
OmniPage Pro at job time.
5. The following panels let you specify an export file name, type,
location, a file separation choice and a formatting level.
6.
The last panel lets you define the job start time and (where applicable)
a stop time, and retain or delete input files after processing. Click
Finish to close the Wizard
.
For more information, please see Scheduling OCR in the online Help. If
your edition of OmniPage Pro supports file input from folders, including
watched folders, see “Advanced features in Schedule OCR” on page 93.
The Schedule OCR dialog box lists all jobs, with status Waiting, Running, Paused,
Error or Complete. Use Modify Job... to change settings for a waiting job. You can
view, modify and reuse finished jobs to process new jobs needing similar settings.
You can delete completed jobs when they are no longer needed.
