words that may not have been recognized
correctly, are highlighted in green.

a red tilde (~).

formatting options.
The next section shows you how to correct any recognition errors and add
words to a user dictionary.
Check Recognition
The True Page Sample has black, crisp text on a clean white background
and so should have few, if any, recognition errors. Check Recognition,
however, also allows you to add words to your user dictionary as well as
correct recognition errors.
