code page A table of correspondences between characters and their codes. Users can select the
characters they need from those available in a code page.
color mode A mode that determines whether document colors are to be retained. Black-and-white
images produce smaller OCR projects and are faster to process.
compound word A word made up of two or more existing words. In ABBYY FineReader, a compound
word is a word that the program cannot find in its dictionary but which it can create from two or more
dictionary words.
D
document analysis The process of identifying the logical structure of a document and areas that
contain various types of data. Document analysis can be carried out automatically or manually.

type the password specified by the author.
dpi (dots per inch) A measure of image resolution.

printer, on a typewriter, etc.). For laser-printed texts, select Auto, for typewritten texts, select
Typewriter, for faxes, select Fax.
