Area is a section of an image enclosed by a frame and containing a certain type of data. Before
performing OCR, ABBYY FineReader detects text, picture, table, and barcode areas in order to
determine which sections of the image should be recognized and in what order.
Area template is a template that contains information about the size and location of the areas for
a set of similar–looking documents.
B
Background picture area is an image area that contains a picture with text printed over it.
Barcode area is an image area that contains a barcode.
Brightness is a scanning parameter that indicates the contrast between the black and white areas
on an image. Setting the correct brightness value increases recognition quality.
C
Code page is a table that establishes correspondences between characters and their codes. Users
can select the characters they need from those available in a code page.
Color mode determines whether document colors are to be retained. Black–and–white images
produce smaller FineReader documents and are faster to process.
Compound word is a word made up of two or more stems (general meaning). In ABBYY
FineReader, a compound word is a word which is not in the dictionary but which the program
thinks may be made up of two or more dictionary words.
D
Document analysis is a process of identifying the elements of the logical structure of a document
and areas with different types of data. Document analysis can be carried out automatically or
manually.
Document open password is a password which prevents users from opening a PDF document
unless they type the password specified by the author.
Document options is the set of options that can be selected in the Options dialog box
(Tools>Options). Document options also include user languages and patterns. Document options
can be saved and then used in other ABBYY FineReader documents.
Dots per inch (dpi) is a measure of image resolution.
Driver is a software program that controls a computer peripheral (e.g., a scanner, a monitor, etc).
F
Font effects is the appearance of a font (i.e. bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, subscript,
superscript, small caps).
I
Ignored characters are any non–letter characters found in words (e.g. syllable characters or
stress marks). These characters are ignored during the spell check.
Inverted image is an image with white characters against a dark background.
