OCR Zone Setup dialog
box
OCR zones provide
Kodak
Capture Pro Software with information such as
dimensions of the zone. After you draw an OCR zone, Capture Pro Software
attempts to read the information in the zone and automatically displays the
OCR Zone Properties window with whatever text the software could read in the
zone.
NOTE: The OCR function has difficulty reading italic and underlined
characters on Asian character sets. To increase the OCR reliability, it is
recommended that you use black and white images.
Zone name
— enter a name for the OCR zone. You must name the OCR zone
in order to save it.
Side: Front
or
Back
— select whether the OCR zone is located on the front or
back of an image.
Rule for values to keep
— any valid Input format text expressions may be
entered or this filed may be left empty. If any Input format text expression is
entered, then only OCR read strings that meet this rule will be kept. For
example, if the expression entered is A<10>, then only OCR read strings
containing 10 or less alpha characters will be kept. For more information is the
section entitled, “Input formats” in Chapter 4.
Search for value in zone
— when the
Rule for values to keep
is a fixed
string format, then the OCR zone read value only needs to contain fixed
strings for value to be kept.
For example, if the
Rule for values to keep
was set to Form 1099, then the
following read strings would be valid reads and batch/document separation
would occur if selected.
“77644 Form 1099 - revision 1.2”
“81763 Form 1099 - revision 1.4”
“77644 Form 1099 - revision 2.2”
Character set rule — not applicable at this time.
Primary language
—selecting the appropriate primary language ensures that
Kodak
Capture Pro Software properly OCR’s special language-specific
characters (e.g., ç or ü). Use the drop-down list to display a list of supported
languages.
Secondary language
— one or more secondary languages may be selected
when a zone may contain characters from more than one language.
