ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
OCR options
Selecting the right OCR options is important if you want fast and accurate results. When deciding which
options you want to use, you should consider not only the type and complexity of your document, but
also how you intend to use the results. The following groups of options are available:
· PDF recognition modes
· Balance between OCR speed and accuracy
· Document type
· Detection of structural elements
· Barcodes
· Patterns and languages
· Fonts to be used in recognized text
You can find the OCR options on the OCR tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to
open this dialog box).
ABBYY FineReader automatically recognizes any pages you add to an OCR project. The currently
selected options will be used for OCR. You can turn off automatic analysis and OCR of newly added
images on theImage Processing tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools>Options... to open this
dialog box).
If you change the OCR options after a document has been recognized, run the OCR process again to
recognize the document with the new options.
PDF recognition modes
These settings are intended for PDF documents with text layers and pictures. Such PDF documents
are usually created from documents in editable formats. Other types of PDF documents, such as
searchable PDFs and image-only PDFs, are always processed in Use OCR mode, which is the default
mode for these types of PDF. No additional settings are required to process such PDFs.
Three recognition modes are available:
· Automatically Choose between OCR and Text from PDF
The program will examine the text layer and use the existing text layer if it contains good-quality
text. Otherwise, OCR will be used to create a new text layer.
· Use OCR
OCR will be used to create a new text layer. This mode takes more time but is more suitable for
documents with poor-quality text layers.
· Use Only Text from PDF
This is the default mode for PDF documents with text layers. The program will use the original
text layer without running OCR.
