option is enabled, end hyphens are deleted and the ending code - if one is defined
- is ignored. When two lines are read, "The new presi-" and "dent waved from the
balcony.", the resulting output is "The new president waved from the balcony. ". The
end hyphen of "presi-" is ignored and so is the “normal” suffix <Space>. If the
two following lines are "His lovely wife" and "had joined him.", the output will be
"His lovely wife had joined him.", with the space after the word "wife" added as
suffix by the IRISPen software.
This option is mandatory for the IRISPen Translator to avoid ungrammatical
and therefore intranslatable text: it restores the sentences by “recomposing” hy-
phenated words and adding the suffix <Space> only where it is needed. (The
IRISPen Translator does more here than recognize text: the recognized text is
contextually adjusted, or “pre-edited” as other translation solutions would call it,
to allow correct translation.)
Related Command
The alignment options can also be enabled by loading IRISPen settings with
the command "Open Settings" under the "File" menu.
Output Subset
Allows to define customized character sets.
This command complements the alphanumeric and numeric character modes
as selected in the IRISPen application window. When the alphanumeric reading
mode is active, the set of recognized symbols is obviously influenced by the se-
lected language.
