Export for OCR file

Important: The system no longer supports OCR tools.

Converts OCR result file (created by the OCR for TIFF/PCX/DCX files tool) into one of several document formats. You may optionally choose to preface unrecognized words and characters with a special character, allowing easier search-and-replace editing later.

Mark suspicious characters/words?

When the OCR engine parses this image, it can optionally mark words or characters it wasn't sure about with a special character. The special character is placed before each low-confidence word and character. Specify true to automatically preface low-confidence words and characters with a special character. This makes search-and-replace editing easier if you use a character that rarely appears in the document, such as "#" or "~". Specify false to not mark low-confidence words and characters. The resulting quality of the exported text is dependent upon the quality of the fax image.

Character Marker

The character that will preface low-confidence words and characters. Pick a character that appears rarely in your document, such as "#" or "~".

Text file name

The name of the document to be generated. Leave this empty ("") to generate a unique filename that will be passed to the Name of the output text file output parameter.

Outputs

Text file name

This should be the same name as you specified in the Name of output text file input parameter.
