General Information on Recognition
Note: Always ensure that the following options have been correctly set before you start recognition:
recognition language, source text print type, and document type.
You may:
1. Recognize a block or several blocks drawn on an image.
2. Recognize an open page or all pages selected in the
Batch Window.
3. Recognize all unrecognized batch pages.
4. Recognize all pages in background mode. Background mode allows you to edit and
recognize pages at the same time.
5. Recognize pages in training mode. Training mode is used for recognizing texts set in
decorative fonts or for processing large volumes (more than a hundred pages) of
documents of inferior print quality.
6. Recognize the same batch on several workstations.
To start recognition:
● Either click the 2-Read button on the WizardBar toolbar, or
● Select the item of your choice in the Process menu:
Read - to recognize the open page or all the pages selected in the Batch window;
Read All Pages - to recognize all unrecognized batch pages;
Read Block - to recognize a block or several blocks drawn on the image;
Start Background Recognition - to start recognition in background mode.
By default, the
2-Read button recognizes the open image. To change button mode,
click the arrow to the right of the button and select the mode of your choice in the
local menu.
Note: When you perform OCR on a block that has already been recognized, recognition will only be
carried out on new or modified blocks.
Recognition Language
FineReader recognizes both mono- and multilingual (e.g. English and French) documents.
To set the text recognition language, select it in the drop-down list on the
Standard toolbar.
