These are ways to increase processing speed in OmniPage:
-
Increase Computing Power
OmniPage 17 is maximized to run faster on dual-core and
quad-core computers.
-
Select Faster Settings
or deselect Slower Settings
Use the Options dialog box to modify some settings:
Select Speed
under Optimize the OCR process
for...in the OCR panel.
Select a layout
description setting that excludes tables if your pages do not contain
tables. Then the table detection algorithms do not have to run.
-
Recognize only the text
you need
With manual processing, draw
zones around only the parts of a page you want to process. This saves
OmniPage the time of detecting zones and of processing text you do not
need.
Draw ignore
zones or set an ignore background on areas of a page you do not
want processed. See Zones, backgrounds
and auto-zoning for more information.
Excluding unneeded text is most useful when
that text is in very small print, is printed badly or at an angle or is
curved, has a highly stylized typeface or is included in a diagram or
artwork. OmniPage is likely to spend a lot of time trying to produce results
from such text.
Put your name, address elements, and your
most common trade, company and product names, abbreviations and technical
terms from the field of your work into a user dictionary, so they do not
slow down proofing.
Process large documents automatically, even
if you know a few pages will need separate attention. Automatic processing
is likely to be faster than manual processing and does not need your constant
attention. You can reprocess just those few special pages manually. See
Combined processing.
Split very large documents into smaller
documents.
For documents which can be handled by automatic
processing, consider using Batch Manager to do the hard work while you
are not present, for instance during a lunch break or a meeting. Save
the job to an OmniPage Document if you want to proof and verify recognized
texts later.
