OCR to Word/HTML/PDF[edit | edit source]

Performs full-page OCR on the current document and lets you export to MS Word, HTML, Text, or PDF.

OCR the Clipboard[edit | edit source]

Perform OCR on an image currently stored in the Windows Clipboard. OCR zones, dictionary, and template matching will be applied to the clipboard image as if it was a document image being processed. The resulting index data will be populated in the corresponding fields.

If the current configuration has the Screen Shot OCR Window setting defined, then the application will automatically bring that window into focus, take a screen shot, and then use that image to perform OCR.

Enable Processing Log[edit | edit source]

Select this menu option to enable the Processing Log, which causes an extended log file called “Process_YYYY-MM-DD.txt” to be created in your Log folder. A new log is created for each day. This file contains extensive information on the processing steps taking place during each SimpleIndex job.

If you have Enable Processing Log checked when you create a SimpleIndex service, the service is configured to create a processing log as it runs. To enable this after the service has been created, you must delete and re-create the service.

The Processing Log is particularly useful for:

  • Diagnosing issues with unattended processing
  • Viewing raw zone OCR results prior to template matching
  • Working with Simple Software support
