Setting Recognize Options and Proofing a Recognized Document
Option
Does this...
Stringent Suspect Threshold Identifies ALL suspect characters. Use the
stringent setting when it is important that you
know about all possible mistaken
identifications, or when using dictionaries
will not aid in identification. For example,
use Stringent when you recognize tables of
numbers, documents with a lot of proper
names, and whenever you need to check the
recognition results very carefully.
Normal suspect threshold
Identifies only suspect characters of which it
is somewhat uncertain. Typically, Pro OCR
highlights some suspect characters at the
Normal threshold. Use the normal setting
with ordinary (clean, clear, typeset)
documents, where accuracy is important but
not critical, and when most of the words in
the document are likely to be found in the
dictionaries.
Lenient suspect threshold
Identifies only suspect characters of which it
is very uncertain. Typically, Pro OCR
highlights very few suspect characters at the
Lenient threshold. Use the lenient setting for
documents containing fonts that you know
from experience have been recognized
accurately in the past or when you’re less
concerned with proofing your document.
4. Click OK.
When you return to the document, it appears with the new settings. The last set
display options are remembered when you run Pro OCR again.
Setting the Illegibles Character Symbol
You select the illegibles character symbol to tell Pro OCR how to display any illegible
characters it finds. When you use Proof with the Illegibles proofing option selected, it
finds illegible characters so that you can review and edit them.
