Nuance omnipage direct 2 for windows User Manual

If a page has thin, broken characters, move the brightness slide toward 
Darken

.

If a page has thick, run-together characters or if it is printed on porous 
paper such as newsprint, or if it is printed on glossy paper, move the 
brightness slide toward Lighten.

To evaluate brightness settings, watch the Character Window as Direct 
performs text recognition. For a description of the Character Window, see 
Chapter 4, How to Improve Performance. 

Select this if you want a hard carriage return inserted at the end of each 
line of text.

Use this setting if you’re scanning lists, lines of code, or other text where 
you want each line to be an individual paragraph when it appears in your 
word processor. This feature will not work with lines of text shorter than 
a certain length; you’ll need to experiment to find the length minimums 
with your particular pages.

When this is deselected, Direct will look for extra space between lines of 
text on the scanned page and interpret space as a paragraph break. It will 
insert a hard carriage return at the paragraph break. If text is continuous, 
it will assume that the continuous text is one paragraph.
