How Readiris Pro Streamlines Document Conversion — Features & Tips

Readiris Pro Tutorial: From Scanned Image to Editable Text in Minutes

What Readiris Pro does

Readiris Pro is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application that converts scanned images, PDFs, and photos of documents into editable formats (Word, Excel, searchable PDF, text). It preserves layout, supports multiple languages, and can process batches.

Quick step-by-step tutorial (assumes default Readiris Pro desktop app)

1. Open Readiris Pro.
2. Import your file: Click “Open” or drag‑and‑drop a scanned image or PDF into the workspace.
3. Select document language(s): Choose the language(s) the text is in for better recognition accuracy.
4. Choose output format: Pick Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), searchable PDF, plain text, or other supported formats.
5. Configure settings (optional):
   • Set OCR accuracy vs. speed.
   • Enable layout retention to keep columns, images, and fonts.
   • Use deskew/denoise if scans are tilted or noisy.
6. Run OCR: Click the “Recognize” or “Convert” button. For multi‑page files, verify batch processing is enabled.
7. Review and correct results: Use the built‑in editor to fix misrecognized text, adjust formatting, and confirm page structure.
8. Export/save: Save the editable file to your desired format and location.

Tips for best results

• Scan at 300 DPI for crisp text recognition.
• Use high-contrast scans (dark text on light background).
• Convert one language per OCR pass or explicitly select multiple languages if mixed.
• For handwritten notes, expect lower accuracy.
• Run image preprocessing (deskew, despeckle) before OCR on poor scans.

Common use cases

• Creating searchable PDFs for archives.
• Extracting tables to Excel for analysis.
• Converting printed reports to editable Word documents.
• Batch processing large scan collections.
