3. Rotate or Flip Image
Recognition quality relies on the image having a standard orientation (the text should be read
from top to bottom and all lines should be horizontal). ABBYY FineReader automatically
detects page orientation during the recognition stage. If the program detects page orientation
incorrectly, clear Detect image orientation (during recognition) on the Scan/Open
Image tab and rotate the image manually. To do this:
● Click or select the Rotate Clockwise from the Image menu to rotate
the image 90° clockwise.
● Click or select the Rotate Counter–Clockwise from the Image menu
to rotate the image 90° counter–clockwise.
● Select Rotate Upside Down item in the Image menu to rotate the image
180°.
To flip the image:
● horizontally (around the vertical axis) – select the Flip Horizontal from the
Image menu,
● vertically (around the horizontal axis) – select the Flip Vertical from the
Image menu.
4. Clear block
You may choose to skip recognizing a particular image area or eradicate large areas of dust on
the image by erasing them. To do this:
● Select and then select the image area you want to erase by holding down
the left mouse button. Release the button to erase the selected image area.
5. Increase/Decrease image scale
● Select / on the Image bar (from the Image window) and click on
the image. The image scale will double/halve.
● Right–click the image and select the Scale. Input the desired scale (by per
centage) from the local menu.
6. Get image information
You can obtain a number of parameters about your image: image width and height in pixels;
vertical and horizontal resolution per inch (dpi); and image type. To do this:

In the open dialog, select the Image tab.
