1
Capture multiple pages in one session
Scan books, contracts, packets, or other printed materials without breaking the session after every page.
-
2
Review page order and remove mistakes
Reorder, delete, or retake pages before OCR runs so the downstream document reflects the right sequence.
-
3
Run OCR and inspect cleanup suggestions
ForScan extracts printed text, merges the document, and surfaces conservative cleanup suggestions instead of silently rewriting everything.
-
4
Export in the format that matches the job
Keep a scan PDF for fast archiving, or move to reading PDF, Markdown, and TXT when the document needs reuse.
How the workflow is structured
From paper capture to clean export in a single sequence.
ForScan is optimized for printed materials that should remain readable after OCR. The workflow is intentionally conservative: review first, process second, export last.
Simple capture habits that help output quality
- Use evenly lit printed pages with visible margins when possible
- Group one document per session instead of mixing unrelated papers
- Check the page order before starting OCR on long documents
- Review cleanup suggestions carefully for formal or sensitive text
