General Information on Recognition
Note: Always confirm that recognition options (including recognition language, print type of
the source text, and document type) have been set correctly prior to beginning recog
nition.
You may:
1. Recognize a block or several blocks drawn on an image.
2. Recognize an open page or all pages selected in the Batch window.
3. Recognize all unrecognized batch pages.
4. Recognize all pages in background mode. Background mode allows you to
edit and recognize pages simultaneously.
5. Recognize pages in training mode. Training mode recognizes texts set in deco
rative fonts or expedites processing of large documents (over a hundred
pages) of inferior print quality.
6. Recognize the same batch on several workstations.
To start recognition:
● Click 2–Read on the WizardBar toolbar, or
● Select the item of your choice in the Process menu:
Read – To recognize the open page or all the pages selected in the Batch window;
Read All Pages – To recognize all unrecognized batch pages;
Read Block – To recognize a block or multiple blocks drawn on the image;
Start Background Recognition – To begin recognition in background mode.
As a default, the 2Read button recognizes the open image. To change the
mode of the 2Read button, click the small downward arrow to the right of
the button and select the mode of your choice in the local menu.
Note: When you perform OCR on a page that has already been recognized, only new or
modified blocks will be recognized.
