Checking and Editing
Recognition results are displayed in the Text window. Uncertain characters are highlighted in color
in this window. This makes it easy to locate possible errors and quickly correct them.
You can edit the output document either directly in the Text window or with the built–in
Verification dialog box (Tools>Verification…), which lets you browse through uncertain words,
find spelling errors, add new words to your dictionary, and change the dictionary language.
ABBYY FineReader also lets you adjust the formatting of recognized text.
You can edit recognized text in the Text window with the buttons on the main toolbar and the Text
Properties panel (via the shortcut menu of the Text>Properties window).
Note: When ABBYY FineReader performs OCR, it automatically detects the document's styles. All of
the selected styles are displayed on the Text Properties panel. By editing styles, you can easily
change the formatting of the entire text. ABBYY FineReader preserves all styles when saving text to
RTF/DOC/DOCX/ODT formats.
Saving OCR Results
Recognition results can be saved to a file, sent to another application, copied to the Clipboard, or
e–mailed. You can also send OCR results to Kindle.com where they will be converted to the Kindle
format and become available for download onto your Kindle device. You can save either the entire
document, or selected pages only.
Important! Be sure to select the appropriate saving options before clicking Save.
To save recognized text:
1. Select the format saving mode on the main toolbar's drop–down menu.
Document Format Saving Modes.
a. Exact Copy
Produces a document with formatting that corresponds to that of the original.
Recommended for documents with complex formatting, such as promotion booklets. Note,
however, that this option limits the ability to change the text and format of the output
document.
b. Editable Copy
Produces a document in which the formatting may differ slightly from that of the original.
Documents produced in this mode are easy to edit.
c. Formatted Text
Retains fonts, font sizes, and paragraphs, but does not retain the exact spacing or locations
of the objects on the page. The text produced will be left–aligned. Texts in right–to–left
scripts will be right–aligned.
Note: Vertical texts will be changed to horizontal in this mode.
d. Plain Text
This mode does not retain text formatting.
Important! The list of available options may vary depending on the selected saving format.
2. On the Save tab of the Options dialog box, select the desired saving options and click OK.
3. Click the arrow to the right of the Save button on the main toolbar and select the appropriate
option, or use commands from the File menu.
Note: ABBYY FineReader lets you save page images. For details, see Saving an Image of the Page.
