Language

When Western words pop up in Greek, Cyrillic or Asian documents - many untranscribable proper names, brand names etc. are written using the familiar Western symbols -, Readiris can switch to the correct alphabet automatically. You can activate a mixed alphabet of Greek, Cyrillic (“Russian”) or Asian and Western characters!

How to...?

   

Tip: select the document language before executing the page analysis when you are dealing with Asian documents. Specific page analysis routines are used for Asian documents.

Advanced features

To mix languages on a page, select the language with the most extended character set.

To read documents where the French translation occurs alongside an English text, select French as language to ensure that the accentuated characters - such as “η”, “ι” and “ω” - get recognized correctly.

The French lexicon will provide linguistic “feedback” to the OCR process; no linguistics are used to validate the English text!

Tip: the tooltip of the Language button enumerates the selected language.
