If you know that your text will not contain certain characters, you may wish to explicitly specify
these so-called prohibited characters. Doing this can increase the speed and accuracy of OCR.
To specify these characters, click the Advanced... button in the Language Group Properties
dialog box and enter the prohibited characters in the Prohibited characters field.
5. Click OK.
The new group will appear in the drop-down list of languages on the main toolbar .
By default, user language groups are saved in the folder of the OCR project . You can also save all
user patterns and languages as a single file. To do this, open the Options dialog box (click Tools >
Options... to open this dialog box), click the OCR tab, and then click the Save Patterns and
Languages... button.
Tip. You can use the drop-down list of languages on the main toolbar to select a language group.
1. Select More languages... from the drop-down list of languages on the main toolbar.
2. In the Language Editor dialog box, select the Specify OCR languages manually option.
3. Select the desired languages and click OK.
If vertical or inverted text was not recognized
A fragment of recognized text may contain a large number of errors if the orientation of the fragment was
detected incorrectly or if the text in the fragment is inverted (i.e. light text is printed on a dark
background).
To solve this problem:
1. In the Image pane, select the area or the table cell that contains vertical or inverted text.
2. Right-click the area and click Properties on the shortcut menu to open the Area Properties
pane. Next:
· Select the direction of the text from the Direction of CJK text drop-down list,
or
· Select Inverted from the Inversion drop-down list.
3. Run the OCR process again.
