Scanning Problems

Continued

Problem

Cause & Solution

The original document is scanned with improper
brightness or too low resolution. Adjust the
scanning brightness to medium in your scanning
application.

The original document contains wrong text
language. You can recognize English text only.

You have set wrong text type. Text type is set in the
AnyPage Lite system automatically. But if you have
to recognize typewritten or matrix printer texts, set
the corresponding text type to increase recognition
accuracy. Do not forget to set the switch back to
Auto position if you are recognizing text, which are
neither typed on a typewriter nor printed on matrix
printer in draft mode.

The recognized page
contains many
unrecognized words

In most cases the system analyzes text layout
successfully. But if there are mistakes, you can mark
blocks manually.

The result of automatic
segmentation is not
correct

You may be trying to load an image file of a format
not supported in AnyPage Lite.

AnyPage Lite can load image files in the following
formats: BMP, PCX, DCX, JPEG, TIFF.

AnyPage Lite can save images in the following
formats: BMP, PCX, JPEG, TIFF.

The system does not
load your image file

AnyPage Lite does not offer the scan feature. 

It provides only the recognizing feature of the

scanned image.

Scanning is not
achieved in AnyPage
Lite.
