How to use the OCR option

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by INOUE0202 49

If I want to use the OCR option (Windows OCR option) on a Windows 10 PC, is any setting or installation required?
No matter which PDF you specify, an error will occur.
If there are any settings or things I need to check, please let me know.
I don't know how to check if Windows OCR is installed.

    Typically it wouldn't require any additional software installation required. Could you please share the error details or screenshot?

    Thank you for contacting me.
    Using a PAD on a Japanese OS PC.
    I have attached the PAD settings screen and error screen.
    I have "Windows OCR Engine" selected.
    In this case, do I need to install some kind of OCR tool on my PC?
    For example, the Snipping Tool.
