When you want to scan many similar looking documents, it might be useful to apply zoning templates, instead of editing the recognition zones each time. In a zoning template you indicate what your documents look like and where the text, picture or tables zones are located. This way, Readiris only looks in the indicated areas, saving you a considerable amount of time.
To create a zoning template:
Scan the first document.
Edit the zones to your liking.
See Editing the Recognition Zones for more information.
On the Page menu, click Save Layout.
To use a zoning template:
First, deactivate Page Analysis on the Readiris menu > Preferences > Page analysis.
On the Page menu, click Open Layout.
Open the layout file you have saved.
Choose whether to use the Layout for the current page and new pages or for the current page only.
Then, scan or open your documents in Readiris.
To stop using the template, re-activate Page Analysis again.
It is also possible to manually copy the zoning layout from one page to another:
Cmd-click the zones you want to copy to another page.
Tip: make sure the Layout toolbar
is closed. Otherwise, Cmd-click won't work.
Then press Cmd+C on the keyboard.
Go to the page to which you want to copy the zoning layout.
Click inside the image and press Cmd+V on the keyboard.
