1. Despeckle image
The recognized image may contain a large amount of “dust” (i.e. excess dots) if the original is
mediumtolow print quality. Dust, when it resides close to character outlines, may adversely
effect recognition quality. To decrease the number of dots:
● Select the Despeckle Image from the Image menu.
To despeckle a particular block:
● Select the Despeckle Block from the Image menu.
Note: Despeckling may decrease recognition quaility if the original document is very faint or
contains a light font. Very small characters, such as periods or commas, and parts of
very thin characters may disappear.
If you scan or open a “dusty” image, select Despeckle image in the Image Preprocessing
group on the Scan/Open Image tab (Tools>Options menu) to despeckle the image prior to
adding them to the batch.
2. Invert image
Some scanners invert images (turning black into white and vice versa) during scanning.
You may wish to apply the Invert Image option to create a uniform or standard appearance
(e.g. a black font against a white background) among the documents. To do this:
● Select the Invert Image from the Image menu.
