Converting into Word, Excel, or PowerPoint Documents
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Function of ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap
This section explains about the OCR function of ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap.
Overview of ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap
ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap is an application used exclusively with the ScanSnap. This
program can perform text recognition only for PDF files created by using the ScanSnap. It cannot
perform text recognition for files created using Adobe Acrobat or other applications.
Features of OCR Function
The OCR function has the following features. Before performing text recognition, check whether the
documents are suitable for text recognition by referring to the following guidelines:
Application Suitable for Text Recognition Not Suitable for Text Recognition
ABBYY Scan to
Word
Documents with simple layouts consisting
of single or double columns
Documents with complex layouts containing a
mixture of diagrams, tables, and texts (such as
brochures, magazines and newspapers)
55
Converting into Word, Excel, or PowerPoint Documents
Application Suitable for Text Recognition Not Suitable for Text Recognition
ABBYY Scan to
Excel(R)
Documents with simple tables in which
every border connects to the outer frame.
Documents containing the following:
l Tables with no solid border lines
l Tables with complicated cell formats
l Complex tables containing subtables
l Diagrams
l Graphs
l Photos
l Documents containing vertical text
ABBYY Scan to
PowerPoint(R)
Documents containing text and simple
diagrams/tables on a white or light
monocolor background
l Documents with complex page layouts
comprised of characters, diagrams and
illustrations
l Documents with characters on photographs or
patterned background
l Documents with light colored characters on a
deep colored background
Parameters That Cannot Be Reproduced as They Are in the Original
Document
The following parameters may not be reproduced as they are in the original document. It is
recommended that you check the results of the text recognition in Word, Excel or PowerPoint and, if
necessary, edit the data.
l Character font and size
l Character and line spacing
l Underlined, bold and italic characters
l Superscript/subscript
Documents That Cannot Be Recognized Correctly
The following types of documents may not be recognized correctly. Better results in text recognition
may be achieved by changing the color mode or increasing the resolution.
56
Converting into Word, Excel, or PowerPoint Documents
l Documents including handwritten characters
l Documents containing small characters (smaller than a font size of 10)
l Skewed documents
l Documents written in languages other than the specified language
l Documents with characters on an unevenly colored background
Example: Shaded characters
l Documents with many decorated characters
Example: Decorated characters (embossed/outlined)
l Documents with characters on a patterned background
Example:
l
Documents with many characters contacting underlines or borders
l Documents with a complex layout and documents with a large amount of image noise
(It may take extra time to process text recognition for these documents.)
Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams
Other Considerations
l When you convert a document that is longer than the maximum size allowed by Word, the
maximum paper size available for Word may be used.
l When you convert a document to Excel files, if the recognition result exceeds 65,536 lines, no
more results are saved.
l When you convert a document to Excel files, information about the layout of the entire
document, diagrams, and length/width of graphs and tables is not duplicated. Only tables and
characters are reproduced.
l A converted PowerPoint document will not have the original background color and patterns.
l Documents placed upside down or in landscape orientation cannot be recognized correctly. Use
"Rotating a Scanned Image to Its Correct Orientation" (page 90), or place documents in the
correct orientation.
l If bleed-through reduction is enabled, the recognition rate may be lower. In that case, disable it
in the following procedure.

Scanning Color Documents in High Compression
Scanning Color Documents in High Compression
Large quantities of color documents can be scanned in high compression mode and saved as a
compact PDF file.
ATTENTION
When scanning in [Color high compression] mode, only the background is scanned in high
compression separated from the characters. Therefore, documents that are mainly made up of
characters can be scanned and saved as a smaller file without the image quality of the characters
being reduced. By contrast, documents that are made up of photographs and illustrations are
recognized as the background and scanned entirely in high compression, resulting in a reduction of
quality in the scanned image. Therefore, this function is not suitable for scanning color documents such
as photographs.
To scan color documents in high compression mode, select [Color high compression] from the [Color
mode] drop-down list in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap setup window.
86
Deleting Blank Pages (Not Applicable to SV600)
Deleting Blank Pages (Not Applicable to SV600)
The ScanSnap can detect and automatically delete blank pages from a scanned image. For
example, when you scan a mixed batch of double-sided and single-sided documents in duplex
mode, the images are generated without the back sides of the single-sided documents (blank
pages).
ATTENTION
Blank pages are not deleted when CardMinder is used.
To delete blank pages, select [Blank page removal] in the [Scanning] tab of the ScanSnap setup
window.
ATTENTION
The following documents may be detected as blank.
l Almost blank documents with only a few characters

Also make sure to check the image data for accidentally deleted pages when discarding the scanned
document.

3. Click the [OK] button to close all the windows.
ATTENTION
l Up to ±5 degrees of skew can be corrected.

angle.
In that case, clear the [Deskew by text on document] checkbox:
- Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters
are overlapped
- Documents with many outlined or decorated characters
- Documents with many images (such as photographs and figures) and few characters
- Documents with characters on a patterned background
Example:
- Documents with long diagonal lines

89
Rotating a Scanned Image to Its Correct Orientation
Rotating a Scanned Image to Its Correct Orientation
The ScanSnap is able to rotate each scanned image automatically or to a specified orientation.
In an office environment, it is often the case that a single batch contains same size documents of
different text orientations. Automatic detection of the text orientation is useful for such a document
batch.
To rotate the orientation of scanned images, select [Image rotation] in the [Scanning] tab of the
ScanSnap setup window.
ATTENTION
In the case of SV600, if you select [Select later] from [Document type] in the [Paper] tab of the
ScanSnap setup window to scan a document and then select [Correct and save double-page spread
document images (book/magazine)] in the [ScanSnap Manager - Image scanning and file saving]
window, the scanned image is not rotated automatically to its correct orientation.
ATTENTION
The correct orientation of the scanned image is determined by the character strings printed on the
document. Therefore, the scanned images for the following types of documents may not rotate when
[Automatic] is selected for [Image rotation].
In this case, do not select [Automatic].
l Documents with many extremely large or small characters
l Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters are
overlapped
l Documents with many characters contacting underlines or borders
l Documents with many images (such as photographs and figures) and few characters
