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.
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. The
application will only attempt to identify among selected languages and
only wors for English, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Danish, Dutch,
Spanish, Finnish and French. If a text on a different language is to be
OCR-processed, then this function needs to be deactivated.
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.
Smart start
Smart start works as follows. If a text has already been read aloud and a
new OCR conversion is starting, the reading will start from the position
where the reading of the old text stopped.

Quality of OCR processing
To achieve the best possible results from OCR processing, bear the
following in mind.
•
Ensure the magnification is sufficient. Very small text produces
poor results in the OCR software. A minimum of 12pt is
recommended for the lowest magnification on the reading camera.
•
Avoid glossy paper as this results in reflections in the image. This
impairs the results of the OCR conversion. If you intend to use
glossy paper, we recommend that the light on the unit is switched
off.
•
Certain fonts can be difficult for the OCR engine to interpret.
•
It is important that the text contrast is sufficient.
•
It is important that the OCR engine's language is the same as that
of the text.
