The Readiris interface looks as follows (default mode):
The interface consists of the following components and panels:
The Readiris menu bar regroups all the commands and options available in Readiris, including advanced settings.
The top toolbar is by far the most important tool in Readiris. It contains all the basic commands you need to scan and export your documents.
Three default Export buttons are available to export your documents as PDF, DOCX and XLSX.
To change the default options of an Export button, click and hold it until its Options menu appears. Then move the cursor to the Options menu to open it.
If the default Export buttons don't suit your needs and you want to select a different output format, click Export Options. Then drag the required output format to the Favorites list and configure its options. For more information see Select the Output Format.
Note that you can also customize the top toolbar by adding or removing commands. To do so:
Ctrl-click the toolbar and click Customize Toolbar.
Drag-and-drop the commands you want to move from or to the toolbar.
When a page is scanned or opened into Readiris, its image is analyzed and displayed. The different recognition zones are not shown by default.
When clicking on the image, the zone located at the mouse click position is shown.
When clicking and dragging to make a selection rectangle, all the zones inside the selection rectangle are shown.
When Edit / Select All Zones (Cmd-A) is selected, all the zones are shown
The content of the selected zone(s) can be copied to the clipboard or to the Evernote.
All the zones are shown and can be edited with the tools in the Layout mode.
Each page you scan or open in Readiris has its thumbnail displayed in the Pages panel. The pages are processed top-down. To change the order of the pages, you drag a page from one location to another.
To have a better overview of the page thumbnails you can switch to Thumbnail view. In this view only the page thumbnails are displayed. The analyzed image is not displayed anymore. In Thumbnail view the thumbnails run from left to right, and from top to bottom.
To switch to Thumbnail view, click the Thumbnail view icon at the bottom of the Pages panel.
The Image and Layout Editing toolbar allows to modify the current page: you can add Annotations, open the Text Corrector, change the Layout of the page, deskew pages that were scanned at an angle, rotate them, adjust the image quality, and so on. Point to the different buttons to display their tooltips.
