OCR Settings

Typeface
Here the user can set the typeface used for viewing text that has been
OCR-processed. The typeface in use has no effect on the OCR-
processing.

Column mode
When this setting is active, the OCR engine processes the text in
columns, which is appropriate if it is a newspaper text that is to be
processed.

Start speech after OCR
If this box is ticked, text will automatically be read aloud after an image
has been OCR-processed.

Automatic language detection
When this function is active, the application will try to detect the
language of the text and change the voice to the detected language.
Automatic language detection uses the languages of the voices made
available in speech settings.
