ABBYY FineReader automatically creates a new batch upon
starting. You can either work with this batch or create a new batch.A batch may contain up to 9,999
pages.
Tip: Saving similar–type pages (e.g. pages from the same
book, those written in the same language, or those with a similar
layout) in the same batch is often useful, since it streamlines the
work process.
The Batch window displays a list of the pages contained
in the open batch. To view a page, click on its icon or
double–click on its page number. All files related to this batch
page will open in the appropriate windows, i.e. the text file in
the Text window, the image file in the Image window,
etc.
There are two ways of displaying pages in the Batch
window:
Batch View
Description
Thumbnails
Batch pages are displayed as thumbnails (a miniature image of
the original page). Additional icons appear on the thumbnails as
the images are processed, to provide information about which
actions have been performed on them (e.g. recognition, saving,
etc.). Thumbnail images are particularly useful when searching for
a particular batch page. To open an image, click on its
thumbnail.
