Click the OCR button or choose Train OCR in the Process menu.
OmniPage Pro analyzes the document and then opens the 
Training File dialog box.
Training files are designed for special characters that may appear in 
your documents. They are not designed to assume the task of 
recognizing ordinary characters. Thus, you should not create a training 
file to accommodate a specific font or type style. Likewise, do not 
attempt to create a training file for a foreign-language alphabet. 
Original character images are displayed along with OmniPage 
Pro’s interpretation of each character. 
Most characters do not need to be trained. Look for uncommon 
characters, run-together text characters, or common errors.
