How do I scan a document so I can edit the text in word processing software?
-
You can scan a document using a process called OCR (Optical Character Recognition). To edit the text, use a word processor with your output format.
To scan and use OCR, you can use the Epson Scan 2 OCR Component. The Epson Scan 2 OCR Component is included with your product.
Character types and originals that may be difficult for OCR software to recognize include:
- Handwritten text
- Items that have been copied from other copies
- Faxes
- Text with tightly spaced characters
- Text that is in tables or underlined
- Cursive or italic fonts and font sizes less than 8 points
- Originals with creases or wrinkles
