Show image during recognition
When processing large numbers of pages, recognition is invariably faster if the processed
image is not displayed on–screen. To run recognition without displaying the image:
● Clear the Show image during recognition item on the General tab
(Tools>Options menu).
Text direction
If the application recognizes blocks containing vertical text incorrectly (a text block or a
table cell):
● right–click the block with vertical text and select the Properties item in the
local menu. The Block properties dialog will open. Select the relevant item
in the Text direction list in the dialog and re–recognize the image.
Inverted or flipped block
If the application recognizes blocks containing inverted or flipped text incorrectly (a text
block, a table cell, or a whole table):
● Rightclick on the appropriate block and select Properties in the local menu.
The Block properties dialog will open. Select the Inverted or Flipped item
in the dialog and re–recognize the image.
Background Recognition
If you wish to simultaneously edit previously recognized pages and run recognition, you may
find background recognition mode useful. To start background recognition:
● Select the Start Background Recognition item in the Process menu.
The sign will appear in the status line at the bottom of FineReader’s main
window. If the Details view mode is active in the Batch window (to activate
Details view mode, right–click on the Batch window and select
View>Details in the local menu), the page currently being recognized will
display the icon in the Opened by column.
When background recognition mode is activated, recognition will resume automatically if an
unrecognized page is added to the batch.
Note: Running in Background mode on a multiprocessor system increases recognition speed
if the batch being processed contains a large number of pages.
