  3. Click "OCR Options"
  4. Under Engine select the desired engine
  5. Under Languages select the desired language
  6. Click OK and continue with your processing

  • Only one language may be used for any given OCR job.  That language setting will apply to the full contents of all documents in that job.
  • The LeadToolsAdvantage engine requires an additional license.  Inquiries to obtain this license should be directed to at sales@accessdata.com or https://accessdata.com/about/contact-us.
