OCR Settings

Click the OCR tab in the Options dialog box to select settings for performing OCR.

TIP: Click the Options button in the Standard toolbar to open the Options dialog box.

OCR Method

Move the slider to the Most Accurate end of the scale if you want to increase OCR accuracy to the highest level, but are not concerned about processing speed.

Move the slider to the Fastest end of the scale if you want to process pages as fast as possible.

Character Type

Select a character type to identify the printed text characteristics in your document:

User dictionary

Select the user dictionary that you want to use for proofreading OCR results. This is your personal dictionary to which you can add words. Click Edit... to edit or create a user dictionary.

Reject character

Unrecognizable characters are represented by a red reject character (~ by default) in your document. For example, if OmniPage Pro could not recognize the J in REJECT, and ~ is the reject character, the string RE~ECT would appear in your document.

Type the character you want to use in the Reject character edit box.

Languages in documents

Select the languages that appear in the documents you are processing. These are the languages that OmniPage Pro looks for during OCR. For faster recognition, select only the languages that are in the documents.

Use training file

Select Use training file and select a character training file in the drop-down list to help recognize special characters during OCR. Any training files that you create appear in this list.

Font Matching

Click the Font Matching... button to select font options for recognized text. Only select the fonts that are contained in your document for the most accurate page layout results.
