OCR

---

The OCR button on the Options tab displays the OCR Options dialog box to allow you to set up a third-party OCR program for use with Zetafax, to allow you to convert received faxes into editable text files suitable for reading into a word processor.

 

Zetafax can be used with many leading third-party OCR products. Select the OCR program from the Program drop-down menu, or choose (other) and specify the command line for the program in the Command line field. If the OCR package does not support fax format graphics files, select an alternative format from the File format menu and Zetafax will automatically convert the file format so your OCR package can read it.

 

Example - Using Microsoft Office Tools Document Imaging for OCR

•Whilst still in Inbox Folder select the message you wish to convert to text and select the Tools tab and then OCR.

•The selected OCR tool will activate.
