Using Area Templates
If you are processing a large number of documents with an identical layout (e.g. forms or
questionnaires), analyzing the layout of every page will be very time consuming. To save time, you
can analyze only one document in a set of similar documents and save the detected areas as a
template. Then you can use this template for the other documents in the set.
To create an area template:
1. Open an image and either let the program analyze the layout automatically or draw the areas
manually.
2. On the Areas menu, click Save Area Template… In the saving dialog box, provide a name for
your template and click Save.
Important! To be able to use an area template, you must scan all the documents in the set using
the same resolution value.
Applying an area template:
1. In the Pages window, select the pages to which you wish to apply an area template.
2. On the Areas menu, click Load Area Template…
3. In the Open Area Template dialog box, select the desired area template (area template files have
the *.blk extension).
4. In the same dialog box, next to Apply to, select Selected pages to apply the template to the
selected pages.
Note: Select All pages to apply the template to all the pages in the current ABBYY
FineReader document.
5. Click the Open button.
Recognition with Training
The Read with training mode is useful for:
• Texts set in decorative fonts
• Texts that contain unusual characters (e.g. mathematical symbols)
• Long (more than a hundred pages) documents of low print quality
Use the Read with training mode
only if one of the above applies. In other instances, the slight
increase in recognition quality will be outweighed by considerably longer processing times. For
details, see Paper Document Contains Decorative (Non–Standard) Fonts.
