Scanning Text for Editing (OCR)

Place document face down on the glass and close the cover. Open an OCR program, such as TextBridge (TextBridge OCR software is available in Murray 116, on the computer attached to the flatbed scanner.)

Click the Get Pages icon on the TextBridge toolbar to begin scanning the document.

When the page has been scanned click the Recognize icon on the TextBridge toolbar.

Click Save As on the TextBridge toolbar to save the page as a Word document. If there are more pages to be scanned and you want to save those pages in the same Word document, be sure that One file for all pages is selected in the Files drop-down.

When you save your page as a Word document it will launch in Word. If you wish to add pages to this document, close Word and return to TextBridge to continue scanning pages.
