ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
If areas are detected incorrectly
ABBYY FineReader analyzes page images prior to OCR and detects different types of areas on these
images, specifically text, picture, background picture, table, and barcode areas. This analysis
determines which areas will be recognized and in what order. In the user interface, different area types
are distinguished by the colors of their borders.
If you click on an area, it will be highlighted and will become active . You can also navigate areas by
pressing the Tab key. The areas' numbers determine the order in which they are selected when the Tab
key is pressed. By default, these area numbers are not visible in the Image pane, but you can view them
in the Area Properties pane of each area. Area numbers will appear on areas when the Order Areas
tool is selected.
The tools for drawing and editing areas manually can be found on the toolbar at the top of the Image
pane and on the pop-up toolbars of the text, picture, background picture, and table areas (select an area
to view its pop-up toolbar).
Once you have adjusted the position or changed the type of an area, be sure to recognize the image
again.
You can use area editing tools to:
· Create a new area
· Adjust area borders
· Add or remove parts of areas
· Select one or more areas
· Move areas
· Reorder areas
· Delete areas
· Change the orientation of text in an area
· Change the color of area borders
