ABBYY FineReader 6.0 User’s Guide
When scanning a book, although it is easier to scan both the left and right pages (i.e. a so-called ‘dual
page’) at the same time, recognition quality is higher if, after scanning, the page is split into two, with
each page corresponding to a single book page. Recognition and layout analysis are then performed
separately for each page, along with de-skewing if required.
To split a dual page:
● Select the Split Dual Pages option on the Scan/Open Image tab (Tools>Options menu)
before scanning.
Consequently, each dual page will be split into two batch pages. See General Information on Working
with Batches section for more information on batches.
Note: If a dual page has been split incorrectly, clear the Split dual pages checkbox, scan the dual page
again, or re-add the respective image to the batch and try to split the image manually using the
Split
Image dialog (Image>Split Image).
Scanning Dual Pages
Tip: If you want the opened images to be recognized right away, select Open&Read mode:
1. Select the
Open&Read item in the Process menu or just press CTRL+SHIFT+D. The Open
dialog will open.
2. Select the images for recognition in the Open dialog.
Adding Images of Business Cards to a Batch
When inputting business cards, it makes sense to input as many as you can fit onto your scanner.
Recognition quality will be better (particularly if de-skewing is carried out) if each business card is rec-
ognized as a separate page. For this purpose, the application features both automatic and manual busi-
ness card image splitting tools. Note that the business cards must be arranged in a particular order (for
more information see Working with Business Cards).
To split the image:
1. Select the image of your choice in the Batch window.
2. Select the
Split image item in the Image menu. The Split image dialog will open.
3. Click the
Split business cards button.
Note:
1. The split page itself will be removed from the batch, and its place taken by the split part
images. For more information, see General Information on Working with Batches in

Select separator mode (click the button) and move the
separator.
5. To delete a separator, switch to
