ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
To split facing pages in Arabic, Hebrew, or Yiddish, be sure to select the corresponding OCR
language first and only then select the Split facing pages option. You can also restore the original page
numbering by selecting the Swap book pages option. See also: OCR projects .
If your document has a complex structure, we recommend disabling automatic analysis and OCR for
images and performing these operations manually.
You can turn off automatic analysis and OCR of newly added images on the Image Processing tab of
the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box).
1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options dialog box.
2. On the Image Processing tab, clear the Automatically process page images as they are
added to the OCR Editor option.
3. Click OK.
Recognizing documents written in more than one language
The instructions below are provided as an example and explain how to recognize a document that
contains both English and Chinese text. Documents that contain other languages can be recognized in
a similar manner.
1. On the main toolbar, select More languages... from the list of languages. In the Language
Editor dialog box, select Specify OCR languages manually and select Chinese and English
from the list of languages.
2. Scan your pages or open your images.
3. If the program fails to detect all of the areas on an image:
· Specify areas manually using the area editing tools
· Specify any areas that only contain one language and on the Area Properties select English
or Chinese as appropriate.
A language can only be specified for areas of the same type. If you selected areas of
different types, such as Text and Table, you will not be able to specify a language.
· If necessary, select the text direction from the Orientation drop-down list (for details, see If
vertical or inverted text was not recognized )
· For texts in CJK languages, the program provides a selection of the text directions in the
Direction of CJK text drop-down list (for details, see Editing area properties) .
If non-European characters are not displayed in the Text pane
If text in a CJK language is displayed incorrectly in the Text pane, you may have selected the Plain text
mode.
