The document input process contains four steps: scanning, reading, spell-checking and saving the recognized text. Once scanning is complete, a scanned document will appear in the Image window. The application then asks you to set up the recognition parameters. After completing the settings, FineReader will start recognizing the image and analyzing its layout. Blue highlights will be shown on the document when the text is recognized. Then, the recognized data will be displayed in the Text window, where they can be checked and edited. Once you have completed the checking and editing, the Scan&Read Wizard will prompt you to either send the final text to an application of your choice, save it to a file, or continue processing the next document.
