Modern equipment allows you to quickly and easily cope with many tasks. Using a scanner, you can download various texts and images to your computer. Once in a matter of seconds on the hard drive, handwritten materials and photographs can immediately be used for their intended purpose. Those who are interested in this feature are probably worried about the question of how to scan a document. It should be said that when performing this operation, erroneous combinations of letters can often be found in electronic text. Such deficiencies are caused by imperfections in the scanning system. Therefore, after the operation is completed, you should read the text and correct all the flaws.
In this article I will describe in detail how to scan a document using programs specially designed for this purpose. It should be noted that this operation is impossible without a special apparatus. It is called a scanner. The device must be connected to the computer with the drivers installed on it.
First, we’ll look at how to scan a document using the most popular “File Reader” program (seventh version). So, open the lid of the device and put the text on the glass. Run the program. In the window that appears, select "File" and then "Scan Image". If you want to transfer a ready-made picture to the computer, then click "Open Image". After that, the scanner settings should appear.
For the text, select the item “Black and white drawing”. After some time, the page will be transferred to electronic form and will appear on the screen of your monitor. With the arrow frame, we select the part of the text we need (or the entire document). After that, we right-click on it and select “Block Type” - “Text”. The area we need is highlighted in green. Then we right-click again and click on the “Recognize Block” item. Next to the window should appear text in electronic form. Now, knowing how to scan a document, it can be “Copy” and “Paste” in the most ordinary way. To transfer electronic material to Word, you need to select the items "File" - "transfer pages" - Word.
There is another good program called CuneiForm. Consider how to scan a document using this resource. So, run the program. In the window that opens in the upper left corner under the word "File" there is a button - "Recognition Wizard". Push it. A window opens. We put a “checkmark” next to the item “Scan”, click the “Next” button.
After that, windows with the parameters of the operation will open, select the desired format and color. Click "Next." In the newly appeared window, the settings for contrast, brightness, etc. will be displayed. We improve or maintain the quality of processing, select "Next". The scanner is running, check that the document you need is on the glass of the device. After completing the procedure, in the newly appeared window, select "Recognize Now", then select the language, then put a checkmark next to the item "Dictionary Control". The next step is to mark the options “Search for tables, pictures”, as well as “Save the location of fragments”. The recognition process has started. After its completion, the Word application opens in the workspace. Now electronic material can be edited and saved. Text scan completed.
