By default, a new batch is created at FineReader startup. A
batch may contain up to 9,999 pages.
Tip: You may find it useful to save similar-type pages
(e.g. pages from the same book, written in the same language, or
with a similar layout) in the same batch. By doing this you will
find your work much easier to do.
The Batch window displays a list of the pages contained
in the open batch. To view a page, just click on its icon or
double-click its page number. All files related to this batch page
will open in their respective windows, i.e. text file (if the page
has been recognized) in the Text window, the image file in
the Image window, etc.
There are two main ways of displaying pages in the Batch
window:
Batch View
Description
Thumbnails
Batch pages are displayed as thumbnails, a thumbnail being a
miniature image of the original page. Additional icons appear on
the thumbnails as you process the images. These inform you of the
actions that 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, just click on its
thumbnail.
Details
Here detailed information is displayed on each batch page in
the batch window, and page lists created according to any feature
specified. This is useful in the case of large batches, as the
batch window can accommodate a much greater number of pages in this
view than in Thumbnail view. Double-click on a page to open
it.
To choose the page view in the Batch window:
Click either or
on the Standard toolbar, or
Right-click the Batch window and select the
View>... item in the local menu.
To customize the Batch window, i.e. choose the features
that are to be displayed, the way in which pages are sorted,
etc:
Right-click the Batch window and select the Batch
View>Customize item in the local menu. A dialog will open.
Select the options of your choice on the Thumbnails and Details tabs of the
dialog.
You may select several different
pages, or a number of consecutive pages, or all batch pages in a
row:
To select a number of pages in a row, hold down
the SHIFT key and click the first and then the last page of
the group you wishant to select.
To select several pages, hold down the CTRL key
and click the pages of your choice.
To select all batch pages, activate the Batch
window and choose the Select All item in the Edit
menu or press CTRL+A.
