ABBYY FineReader 6.0 User’s Guide
An example of draft mode dot matrix text. Character lines are made up of
individual dots.
An example of typewritten text. All letters are of equal width (compare, for
example, "w" and "a").
To change print type:
● Select the print type of your choice on the Recognition tab in the Options dialog
(
Tools>Options menu).
Note: Once you have completed recognition of typewritten texts or dot matrix printouts, remember
to re-enable the Autodetect item to recognize normal texts once again.
Other Recognition Options
Show image during recognition
When processing large numbers of pages, recognition is invariably faster if the processed image is not
displayed on-screen. To run recognition without displaying the image:
● Clear the Show image during recognition item on the General tab (Tools>Options menu).
Text direction
If the application recognizes blocks containing vertical text incorrectly (a text block or a table cell):
● right-click the block containing the vertical text and select the Properties item in the local
menu. The
Block properties dialog will open. Select the relevant item in the Text direction
list in the dialog and re-recognize the image.
Inverted or flipped block
If the application recognizes blocks containing inverted or flipped text incorrectly (a text block, a table
cell, or a whole table):
● Right-click the block concerned and select the Properties item in the local menu. The
Block properties dialog will open. Select the Inverted or Flipped item in the dialog and
re-recognize the image.
Background Recognition
If you wish to edit previously recognized pages and run recognition at the same time, you may find
background recognition mode useful. To start background recognition:
● Select the Start Background Recognition item in the Process menu.
The sign will appear in the status line at the bottom of FineReader’s main window. If
Details view mode is active in the Batch window (to activate Details view mode, right-
click on the
Batch window and select View>Details in the local menu), the page currently
being recognized will have the icon displayed in the
Opened by column.
When background recognition mode is activated, recognition will resume automatically if an unrecog-
nized page is added to the batch.
