Tips
1. Working with texts written in several languages
Select a text fragment written entirely in one language. Before starting the recognition
process, make sure that the language you selected from the Language drop-down list is the
same as the language of the text fragment. Select the correct language if it isn't.
2. If the required language is not in the list, select More languages... from the Language drop-
down list and select the desired language in the dialog box that opens.
If you cannot find the required language in the list of available languages:
·
ABBYY Screenshot Reader does not support this language. For a full list of supported
languages, please see http://www.abbyy.com. The list of supported languages may vary in
different editions of the application.
·
This language may have been disabled during custom installation. To install OCR
languages:
a. Open the Control Panel by clicking the Start > Control Panel.
b. In the Control Panel window, click the Add or Remove Programs item.
If you are using Windows 10, click the button and then click Settings >
System > Apps & features.
c. Select ABBYY FineReader 15 from the list of installed software and click the Change
button.
d. Select desired languages in the Custom Setup dialog box.
e. Follow the on-screen instructions in the setup program.
3. If the selected area contains both text and pictures:
In the Send drop-down list, click Image to OCR Editor. The screenshot will be added to an
OCR project in the OCR Editor of ABBYY FineReader 15, where you can process and recognize
it. If the OCR Editor is already open, the image will be added to the current OCR project.
Otherwise, a new OCR project will be created and the image will be added to this new project.
