ABBYY FineReader 11 User’s Guide

• Select the desired text orientation from the drop–down Orientation menu on the Area Properties
toolbar (the Area Properties shortcut menu).
For details, see Changing Text Properties.
Changing area border colors
1. Open the Options dialog box in the View tab (Tools>Options…).
2. Select the area type under Appearance and choose the color on the Color palette.
Picture Not Detected
Picture areas mark the pictures contained in your document. You can also use picture areas to
select any text fragments that you want treated as pictures (ABBYY FineReader will not perform
OCR on these areas). If the program fails to detect a picture automatically, use the Picture tool to
draw a picture area around the picture manually.
1. On the toolbar at the top of the Image window, select
tool and then use the mouse to draw a
rectangle around the picture on your image.
2. Re–launch the OCR process.
If there is text printed over a picture in your document, draw a Background Picture area around
this text.
1. In the Image window, select the
tool on the toolbar and draw a frame around the picture.
Note: If you do not see this tool on the toolbar, add it. See Toolbars for detailed instructions.
2. Start the OCR process.
You can change an existing area to Picture or Background Picture. Right–click the area and
select Change Area Type>Picture or >Background Picture respectively.
Barcode Not Detected
Barcode areas mark the barcodes contained in a document. If your document contains a barcode
that you would like to render as a sequence of letters and digits rather than as an image, select the
barcode and change the area type to Barcode.
Note: Barcode recognition is disabled by default. To enable barcode recognition, select
Tools>Options…, click the Read tab and select Look for barcodes.
To make ABBYY FineReader detect barcodes:
1. Hold CTRL+SHIFT+ALT and use the mouse to select an area in the Image window or the Zoom
window.
2. Run image recognition.
