ABBYY® FineReader 15 User’s Guide
If a barcode is not detected
Barcode areas contain barcodes. If your document contains a barcode that you would like to render
as a sequence of letters and digits rather than as an image, select the barcode and change the area type
to Barcode.
Barcode recognition is disabled by default. To enable it, click Tools > Options... to open the Options
dialog box, click the Recognition Languages tab, and select the Convert barcodes into strings
option.
To draw a barcode area and recognize it:
1. Draw an area around a barcode in the Image or Zoom pane.
2. Right-click the area and click Change Area Type To > Barcode on the shortcut menu.
3. Run the OCR process.
