Create a batch and submit it for recognition

After you create a new batch and add documents to it, the batch opens for editing so you can process the images before submitting it for recognition. You can also reopen a batch for editing from the list of active batches on the station’s main page (the main scanning page on the Web Capture Station, or the Batch view on the Web Scanning Station).
