Installing OmniPage

OmniPage 17s installation program takes you through installation with instructions on every screen. Before installing OmniPage:
Close all other applications, especially anti-virus programs. Log into your computer with administrator privileges.
If you own a previous version of OmniPage, or if you are upgrading from demonstration software or an OmniPage Special Edition, the installer asks your consent to uninstall that product.

To install OmniPage:

1. Download the program file and choose Run when the
download is completed, or insert the OmniPage CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. The installation program should start automatically. If it does not start, locate your CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer and double-click the Autorun.exe program at the top-level of the CD-ROM.
2. Choose a language to use during installation. Accept the EndUser License Agreement and enter the serial number you receive by e-mail or find on the CD envelope.
3. Choose a complete or a custom installation. A complete
installation installs all RealSpeakTM Text-to-Speech language modules (currently 9). Custom installation lets you exclude or add modules. To exclude a module, click its down arrow and select This feature will not be available.
4. Follow the instructions on each screen to install the software.
All files needed for scanning are copied automatically during installation. Unless deselcted in the OmniPage Professional installation, Nuance PDF Create 5 installation starts as soon the installation of OmniPage is completed. Document-to-document conversions depend on PDF Create being present. OmniPage Professional is supplied with a complimentary copy of the Nuance PaperPort document management product. This must be installed separately and has its own system requirements.
Setting up your scanner with OmniPage
All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically during the programs installation, but no scanner setup occurs at installation time. Before using OmniPage 17 for scanning, your scanner should be installed with its own scanner driver software and tested for correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included with OmniPage. Scanner setup is done through the Scanner Setup Wizard. You can start this yourself, as described below. Otherwise, it appears when you first attempt to perform scanning. Proceed as follows:
Choose Start > All Programs > Nuance > OmniPage 17 > Scanner Setup Wizard or click the Setup button in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box. or choose Scan in the Get Page drop-down list in the OmniPage Toolbox and click the Get Page button. The Scanner Setup Wizard starts. If you have a web connection, the first panel invites you to update the scanner database supplied with the wizard. Choose Yes or No and click on Next. Choose Select and test scanner or digital camera, then click Next. If you have a single installed scanner, it appears, along with any scanners previously set up with OmniPage. If the required scanner is not listed, click Add Scanner. You see a list of all detected scanner drivers in the checkmarked categories. This can include network devices. Select one and click OK. To install a second device, you must run the Scanner Wizard again.

Document Manager

Page Image

Text Editor

OmniPage toolbox: This Toolbox lets you drive the processing. Thumbnails panel: This displays page thumbnails. Document Manager: This provides an overview of your document with a table. Each row represents one page. Columns present statistical or status information for each page, and (where appropriate) document totals. Page Image: This displays the image of the current page with its zones. When a page is displayed, the Image toolbar is available. Text Editor: Displays recognition results from the current page. Panels can be re-arranged freely - horizontally or vertically; use the Window menu to open the Easy Loader, Workflow Status or Help panels. Panels can be minimized or closed, but not tabbed. To restore the default Classic View appearance, choose Reset Current View in the Window menu.

Flexible View

Use this view to set up the OmniPage workspace so that it fits your task optimally. By default all panels appear. There are five tabs: Page Image (including Thumbnails), Text Editor, Easy Loader, Workflow Status and Help. The Document Manager appears in a horizontal panel at the base of the working area. You can undock, move, minimize, group or close panels as already described. Drag a tab onto the working area to convert it to a Classic-type tiled panel. Drag it back to the tab bar to revert to a tabbed panel, or use the Spacebar as already described. If panels are grouped, the tab name shows the active one. To restore the default Flexible View appearance, choose Reset Current View in the Window menu. Easy Loader provides a Windows Explorer type file listing and functionality that can remain open during the session, allowing quick file selection and assembly (see Chapter 3).
Suggested scenarios: Maximizing workspace (single screen) Load a document. Open the panels you want to use. Grab them by their captions one by one, and drag them so that they dock behind the active one as tabs. You can also dock Help to avoid handling two separate windows. Working with recognition results (single screen) Load a document and have it recognized. Close all panels except the Document Manager and the Text Editor. Maximize both horizontally, scale down the Document Manager and dock it to the top or bottom. You can now step through the pages double-clicking them one by one in the Document Manager, inspecting recognition results in the Text Editor. The number of suspect words and reject characters in the Document Manager will help you identify problematic pages. Handling large documents (dual-screen) Load the document you want to work on. Move its Thumbnail View to your second monitor and maximize it for a large scale overview of your document and far more space for thumbnail operations.

Verifying (dual-screen) Place the Page Image on one screen and the Text Editor on the other. This gives you more space for editing and proofing. The Page Image is always available for verifying recognition and for performing on-the-fly zoning and editing. The scenarios presented above are only examples to give you an idea of what you can do in Flexible View.

Quick Convert View

Use the Quick Convert View for fast recognition and saving. You can switch to Quick View only when you have no opened document and it can handle only one input file and one output document at a time. The picture shows the default appearance.
Processing buttons Page Image panel title Quick Convert toolbar
Quick Convert Options on toggled tab with Easy Loader
Quick Convert Options: document source and layout output text format, formatting level output folder and file name saving options page range
The Easy Loader is by default on a tab that toggles with the Quick Convert Options panel. A Help panel can be added, but further panels are not available in this view. You can change tabs to separate panels and minimize them, as in other views. After loading a file, you should convert it before loading the next file. When an image conversion is finished, you do not need to explicity close the image; just load a new file. The Easy Loader in Quick View provides an additional feature: oneclick processing. Choose the Easy Loader sub-menu in the Process menu and choose either Load Files or Get and Convert. When the latter is chosen, multiple files can be selected these files are loaded, recognized and saved using the current settings. For this, set the output file names to be the same as the source file names. See Chapter 3 and Help for detail. The Quick View Page Image panel includes the Quick Convert toolbar, offering the most useful image handling operations. To access advanced functionality, such as image file saving, SET tools, on-the-fly zoning, zone reordering and manual zone drawing for vertical text, a different view should be used.

Custom views

For a custom view, arrange the panels and toolbars as you wish, then choose Window > Custom Views > Manage. Click Add and name your view. Your screen layouts will be displayed in the Custom Views submenu with a checkmark beside the active one. Resetting to a default is not available for custom views.

Changing views

Use the Window menu to change views. Panels are shown or hidden and arranged as they were when the chosen view was last
used. The Help topic on display remains unchanged regardless of view. Easy Loader retains its file location regardless of view and the Workflow Status continues to display information on the last workflow run. On program restart, Help displays the Welcome topic, Easy Loader the default folder location and Workflow status is empty.

1. Use button one to get a set of images. 2. Manually zone pages where you want to process only part of
the page or if you want to give precise zoning instructions. Use ignore backgrounds or zones to exclude areas from processing. Use process backgrounds or zones to specify areas to be autozoned. 3. Use button two to have the pages recognized.
4. Do proofing and editing as desired. 5. Use button three to save your results.
The default for manual processing is to have all entered pages automatically selected. This way you can have all new pages recognized by a single mouse click. You can remove this default in the Process panel of the Options dialog box.

Combined

You can process a document automatically and view results in the Text Editor. If most pages are in order, but a few have not turned out as expected, you can switch to manual processing to adjust settings and re-recognize just those problem pages. Alternatively, you can acquire images with manual processing, draw zones on some or all of them, and then send all pages to automatic processing by pressing the Start button and choosing to process existing pages.

Workflow

A workflow consists of a series of steps and their settings. Typically it will include a recognition step, but it does not have to. It does not have to conform to the 1-2-3 pattern of traditional processing. Workflows are listed in the Workflow drop-down list sample workflows plus any you create. Workflows allow you to handle recurring tasks more efficiently, because all the steps and their settings are pre-defined. You can choose to place the OmniPage Agent icon on your taskbar.

Chapter 3

Its shortcut menu lists your workflows. Click a workflow to launch OmniPage and have it run. Let the Workflow Assistant guide you in creating new workflows. It provides a choice of steps and the settings they need. Click Next after each step to add another one. You can use the Assistant just to get more guidance when doing automatic processing. See Workflow Assistant in Chapter 6.

At a later time

You can schedule OCR jobs or other processing jobs in OmniPage Batch Manager to be performed automatically at a later time, when you may not even be present at your computer. This is done through the Batch Manager. 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. When you choose New Job, first the Job Wizard, and then the Workflow Assistant appears - the latter with a slightly modified set of choices and settings. In the first panel of the Job Wizard, you define your job type and name your job; next you are to specify a starting time, a recurring job or watched folder instructions. A job incorporates a workflow with timing instructions added. See Batch Manager in Chapter 6.

Processing from other applications
You can use the Direct OCR feature to call on the recognition services of OmniPage while you work in the following applications: Microsoft Office XP or higher, Corel WordPerfect 12 or X3. First you must check the Enable Direct OCR check box under Tools > Options > General. Then, two buttons in Office 2007's
Nuance OCR tab, or in an OmniPage toolbar open the door to OCR facilities.

How to set up Direct OCR

Start the application you want connected to OmniPage. Start OmniPage, open the Options dialog box at the General panel and select Enable Direct OCR. In the target application, use the Acquire Text Settings button in the OmniPage toolbar (in Office 2007 go to the Nuance OCR tab). Select options in the following panels: OCR: languages, dictionaries, layout, fonts. Process: Image pre-processing, choices for PDF opening, feature retention. Output format: Set a formatting level Direct OCR: Automatic or manual zoning, perform or skip proofing, image source. Scanner: Set-up or change scanner settings.
These function for future Direct OCR work until you change them again; they are not applied when OmniPage is used on its own.
How to use Direct OCR 1. Open your application and work in a document. To acquire
recognition results from scanned pages, place them correctly in the scanner.
2. Use the OmniPage toolbar button
Acquire Text Settings or the same item in the target applications File menu (or the Nuance OCR tab in Office 2007) to review your recognition settings, if necessary; the Direct OCR panel lets you specify input from scanner, image file or digital camera image files.
3. Use the OmniPage toolbar button
Acquire Text or the same item in the File menu (use the Nuance OCR tab in Office 2007) to acquire images from the specified source. of the Options dialog box, under Acquire Text Settings, recognition proceeds immediately.
4. If you selected Draw zones automatically in the Direct OCR panel
5. If Draw zones automatically is not selected, each page image will
be presented to you, allowing you to draw zones manually. Click the Perform OCR button to continue with recognition.
6. If proofing was specified, this follows recognition. Then the
recognized text is placed at the cursor position in your application, with the formatting level specified in the Output Format panel under Acquire Text Settings.
Defining the source of page images
There are three possible image sources: from image files, from a digital camera and from a scanner. There are two main types of scanners: flatbed or sheetfed. A scanner may have a built-in or added Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), which makes it easier to scan multi-page documents. The images from scanned documents can be input directly into OmniPage or may be saved with the scanners own software to an image file, which OmniPage can later open.

appearance. If characters are thick and touching, lighten the brightness. If characters are thin and broken, darken it. Use the OCR Brightness tool to optimize the image.

Image Enhancement Tools

The Image Enhancement tools can also be used to edit images to save and use them as image files. Note that some these tools work on the Primary image, others on the one used for OCR (OCR image). Click the Primary/OCR Image button in the Image Enhancement window, to see the current state of either image. The Image Enhancement window has two panels. The left panel shows the starting image. Your changes are shown in the right preview panel. When you click Accept, the right image is moved to the left panel to become the new starting image for further enhancement.
The following tools are accessible on the toolbar; their usage is detailed as follows: P - affects Primary image only. O - affects OCR image only. PO - can be applied to either the Primary or OCR image (or both) P+O - a single action is applied to both the Primary and OCR image. P/O - affects both images. WH - applies to whole images only. AR - can be applied to selected image areas. Pointer (F5) - the Pointer is a neutral tool carrying out different operations under different circumstances (for example, to pick a color for the Fill operation, or to catch the deskew line.) PO. Zoom (F6) - click the tool then use the left mouse button to zoom in on your image or the right mouse button to zoom out. You can also use the mouse wheel for zooming in and out even in the inactive view. In the active view the "+" and "-" buttons serve the same purpose. P+O. WH. Select Area (F7) - click this, then on a tool that can work on a page area (marked AR) and draw your selection on the image. Image enhancement tools by default work on the whole page. Selection has three modes (in the View menu): Normal, Additive, and Subtractive. PO. AR. Primary/OCR Image - click this tool to switch between the primary and the OCR image in the active view. Primary images can be of any image mode, while an OCR image is its black-and-white version, generated purely for OCR purposes. P/O. WH.
Synchronize Views - click this tool to zoom and scroll the inactive view to the same zoom value and scroll position as the active view. To make the inactive view dynamically follow the focus of the active one, click View then choose the Keep Synchronized command. PO. WH. The following SET tools allow you to modify image contents: Brightness and Contrast - click this tool to adjust the brightness and contrast of your primary image or a selected part of it. Use the sliders in the tool area to achieve the desired effect. P. AR. Hue / Saturation / Lightness - click this tool then use the sliders to modify the hue, saturation and lightness of your primary image. P. AR. Crop - to use only a part of your image, click the Select Area tool, then the Crop tool and select the area to keep the rest of the image will be removed. P+O. WH > AR Rotate - click this tool to rotate (by 90, 180 or 270 degrees) and/or flip your image. P+O. WH. Despeckle - click this tool to remove stray dots from your image. Despeckle works on the OCR image at 4 levels of severity. You can also use this tool not to remove noise from the page but to strengthen letter outlines: to do this mark the checkbox Inverse despeckling. O. AR. OCR Brightness - use this tool the set Brightness and Contrast of your OCR image. See the diagram of optimum brightness under Preprocessing Images above. O. AR. Dropout color - click this tool and select Red, Green, Blue or choose a color from the primary image with the Select Area tool. Sections of the scanned image in this color will be set transparent. The tool has its effect on the OCR image. P/O. WH.

The tools on this toolbar can be used to line up form elements or to set which one is on top of the others when they overlap. This latter function is useful for example if you want to create a background graphic design for your form. To set the order of overlapping elements, use the Bring to Front and Send to Back buttons. To align the right/left, top/bottom edges or the centers of the selected form elements horizontally - use the horizontal alignment tools vertically - use the vertical arrangement tools. The commands of the Form Arrangement toolbar are also accessible from the shortcut menu of any form element.
Editing Form object properties
To edit a form object directly select it then right-click the given element to display its shortcut menu. You can edit the appearance or the properties of any form element here. Use the following commands: Form Object Appearance - use the tabs Borders, Shading and Shadow to design the look of your form elements in a similar way as you would do in a text-editing application. Form Object Properties - this command gives you access to the element properties such as size, position, name. Properties dynamically vary depending on what type of element you select.

Extracting Form Data

Form data extraction (FDE) is a workflow step. Data is extracted from elements such as fillable fields, check boxes, and option buttons. FDE is a simplified implementation of the full Logical Form Recognition technology. To create a workflow that contains form data extraction: Define the processing input and its settings. Input types include: image PDF, PDF form, image files and forms scanned from paper. Choose Extract Form Data in place of recognition, and specify its settings. Set an active PDF form as template. It can be single or multi-page, filled or unfilled. The program determines the location and type of the form fields based on this form template. Finish the workflow with a saving step. OmniPage will extract data from incoming forms, using the specified template. Export is to a comma-separated value text file (.csv) ready to be loaded into a spreadsheet. Once you select Form Data Extraction in a workflow, only saving steps will follow.

image, selected page images or all images in the document. For multiple zones or multiple pages, you can have all images in a single multi-page image file, providing you set TIFF, MAX, DCX, JB2 or Image-only PDF or XPS as file type. Otherwise each image is placed in a separate file. OmniPage adds numerical suffixes to the file name you provide, to generate unique file names.
4. Click Options. if you want to specify a saving mode (blackand-white, grayscale, color or As is), a maximum resolution and other settings. For TIFF files, you specify the compression method here.
5. Click OK to save the image(s) as specified. Zones and
recognized text are not saved with the file.
Saving recognition results
You can save recognized pages to disk in a wide variety of file types.
1. Choose Export Results. in the File menu, or click the Export
Results button in the OmniPage Toolbox with Save to File selected in the drop-down list.
2. The Save to File dialog box appears. Select Text under Save as. 3. Select a folder location and a file type for your document. Select
a page range, file options, naming options and a formatting level for the document. See Selecting a formatting level on this page.
4. Type in a file name. Click Options. if you want to specify
precise settings for the export. See Selecting converter options later in this chapter.
5. Click OK. The document is saved to disk as specified. If View
Result is selected, the exported file will appear in its target application; that is the one associated with the selected file type in your Windows system or in the advanced saving options for your selected file type converter.
Selecting a formatting level
The formatting level for export is defined at export time, in the saving dialog box (Save to File, Copy to Clipboard, Send in Mail or other dialog box). Three of the levels correspond to the format views of the same name in the Text Editor. However, the level to be applied for saving is independent of the formatting view displayed in the Text Editor. When exporting to file or mail, first specify a file type. This determines which formatting levels are available.
The formatting levels are: Plain Text This exports plain decolumnized left-aligned text in a single font and font size. When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not supported. You can export plain text to nearly all file types and target applications; in these cases graphics, tables and bullets can be retained. Formatted Text This exports decolumnized text with font and paragraph styling, along with graphics and tables. This is available for nearly all file types. Flowing Page This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done wherever possible with column and indent settings, not with text boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which does not happen when text boxes are used. True Page This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done with text, picture and table boxes and frames. This is offered only for target applications capable of handling these. True Page formatting is the only choice for XML export and for all PDF export, except to the file type PDF Edited. Spreadsheet This exports recognition results in tabular form, suitable for use in spreadsheet applications. This places each document page onto a separate worksheet.

including True Page. The PDF file can be viewed, searched and edited. PDF Searchable Image (formerly PDF Image on Text): The PDF file is viewable only and cannot be modified in a PDF editor. The original images are exported, but there is a linked text file behind each image, so the text can be searched. A found word is highlighted in the image. PDF with image substitutes: As for PDF (Normal), but words containing reject and suspect characters have image overlays, so these uncertain words display as they were in the original document. The PDF file can be viewed, searched and edited. PDF Image (formerly PDF, image only): The original images are exported. The PDF file is viewable only and cannot be modified in a PDF editor and text cannot be searched. Besides the above flavors, you can use other parameters in defining your PDF output by clicking Options: PDF 1.6 Save to PDF version 1.6 for enhanced security, markup and attachment embedding functionality. PDF/A Choose to create PDF/A compliant files to be confident that files display identically regardless of the computer environment and remain readable even after many years of technological evolution. Tagged PDF Create a tagged PDF file to preserve its structure. This will ensure logical reading order, correct table structure and more.
PDF MRC Use this high compression technology for good quality and smaller file size. Available for color and grayscale PDF Images or PDF Searchable Images. Linearized PDF Choose this to create PDF files optimized for fast loading and display when embedded in web pages. Password protection In OmniPage Professional you can set a type and level of encryption and then define an Open password and/or a Permissions password for PDF files. A smaller range of choices is available for saving to XPS files, provided that you have Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0 installed.

Converting from PDF

To extract text content from a PDF file, load it into OmniPage, recognize it, and save the results to a text format. A variety of outputs is also available from a PDF file shortcut menu: Word, Excel, RTF, WordPerfect or text. For more options, use the Convert Now Wizard.
Creating PDF files from other applications

Workflow Assistant

This allows you to create and modify workflows. The Job Wizard also uses this to create or modify workflows that jobs execute - see the next section. The Assistant offers one or more steps, each with a drop-down list. This left panel of the Workflow Assistant dialog box lets you build your workflow.
This shows the steps you have chosen.
This drop-down list shows the possible steps at any given workflow position.
Use this to add a new step to your workflow.
Specify settings for the current step here.
Click the Close button to delete a workflow step. All subsequent, dependent steps will also be removed. To change a step, click this arrow and select from the ones in the drop-down list.
At any moment in the process, the Assistant drop-down menu offers all steps that are logically possible at that point. In OmniPage 17 Professional, additional steps are available: Extract Form Data and Mark Text.

Creating workflows

Select New Workflow. in the Workflow drop-down list, or from the Process menu. Or click the Workflow Assistant button in the Standard toolbar when no workflow is selected. The opening Assistant panel offers two starting points: Choose Fresh Start to begin with no steps in the workflow diagram on the right. Accept or change the default workflow name. Then click Next and choose your first step. Choose an image loading step that can take input from file, scanner or digital camera files. Specify settings on the right. Then move on to build your workflow: it can include a variety of different steps. When done, click Finish. Choose Existing Workflows to see a list of existing workflows. These are the sample workflows plus any you have created. Select one as source. Its steps will appear in the workflow diagram on the right. Enter a name for your new workflow. Click Next to proceed; modify its steps and settings as described in the next section. The changed settings apply to the new workflow only and are not written back to the workflow used as the source. Any changed settings enter the new workflow, but do not affect the settings in the program. Finally, select Finish to complete your new workflow.

Modifying workflows

Select the workflow you want to modify in the Workflow drop-down list and click the Workflow Assistant button in the standard toolbar. Or choose Workflows. in the Tools menu, select the desired workflow and click Modify. The first panel of the Workflow Assistant appears with the workflow loaded. Click the icon in the workflow diagram that represents the step you want to modify. Click the downward pointing arrow under the icon to replace this step with another one. Continue modifying steps and/or settings as desired. Remember that deleting or modifying a step may result in later, dependent steps being removed. Click Next to replace removed steps or to add new ones. Click Finish to confirm the changes to your workflow. After creating or modifying a workflow, you must either run a workflow or select the 1-2-3 item in the Workflow drop-down list, to return to normal processing.
