PaperPort can quickly convert the text on a scanned item, which is really 
just a picture of the text, into text that you can edit with a word 
processing application. PaperPort converts the text using either the 
Xerox TextBridge optical character recognition (OCR) application that 
comes with PaperPort, or your OCR application if it’s already on your 
computer. You can convert the entire item, or using the Copy As Text 
command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

PaperPort has another built-in application, called ScanDirect, that you 
can use to send a scanned item directly to an application without 
opening PaperPort. This is a real time saver if you use one linked 
application often. PaperPort does not need to be running, and a scanned 
item can go directly to the other application. 

For example, if you want to scan an item and send it as a fax, click the 
fax icon on the ScanDirect Control Panel. As soon as the scanner 
finishes scanning the item, your fax software opens, and the item is 
ready to be sent.

ScanDirect appears as a separate Control Panel on your computer. This 
sample shows the Netscape Navigator e-mail icon selected so you could 
scan an item and send it over the Internet.

A word processor link 
icon. Dragging an item 
onto a link icon starts 
PaperPort’s built-in 
OCR application, or 
you can use your own 
OCR application.
