Various formatting and detection parameters are available to optimize
OCR for specific needs. Some of these parameters are described in
the following sections.
Configuring the OCR attributes
The user selects from 65 different languages that can be used with
OCR. The available languages appear when the user clicks the drop-
down list in the Language dialog box.
The user also can save the OCR text in a Field Value or as a File
type. Click the Field Value option to save the OCR text in a field. Click
the File option to select from different file types (for example, .txt, .xls,
or PDF) to establish the preferred file type for saving the OCR text.
Use the document-type attribute to adjust to the common format of
the OCR text. If the document format cannot be determined, then
select Auto detect layout.
In most cases, the text layout is detected automatically. Automatic
detection is performed by default.
The document types that are available are listed in table 4-5.
Table 4-5. Document types
Type Description
Autodetect layout Indicates that the text layout is detected
automatically. This value is set by default. All
text types, including multi-column texts, texts
with tables, and pictures, are recognized
automatically.
Single column Indicates that the text is formatted in a single
column. Use this option if the autodetect-layout
feature incorrectly determined a multi-column
text type.
Plain text formatted
with spaces Indicates that the text is formatted in one
column and set in a moonscape font of a
consistent size. In the recognized text, left
indents are represented as spaces. Every line
is formatted as a separate paragraph, and
empty lines separate the original paragraphs.
Use this document type for C++ code printouts
or old computer printouts.
