USER'S GUIDE

tomer identification, order picking and many other examples of high accuracy

data entry can benefit greatly from this bar code reading solution.

Although all widespread bar code standards or “symbologies” are supported,

you don’t have to specify the bar code type: the user-friendliness is such that the

IRISPen automatically detects which bar code standard is used! The IRISPen

Executive offers transparant bar code reading into any Windows application. No

programming or parameter setting is involved in its operation, its use is automatic

and immediate.

You can even use a mixed reading mode where bar codes are read along-

side other data - for instance “normal” text. The IRISPen “auto-detects” which

type of data is being read. For instance, you can scan address labels where the

printed data is complemented by a bar code without ever changing the reading

mode.

Encoding forms and labels can also benefit greatly from numeric handprinting

recognition. This proprietary recognition technology supports all natural writing

styles - American and European; contrary to many other handwriting recognition

solutions, no training phase or imposed style is required.

And there’s another reading capability added: recognition of dot matrix

printed documents. “Draft” or “9 pin” dot matrix symbols are made up of iso-

lated, separate dots, and require highly specialized recognition routines to recog-

nize them.

Advanced image adjustment features optimize the images for the OCR pro-

cess: as the scanning brightness gets adjusted to the color tones of your docu-

ments, documents that are otherwise illegible can be recognized. “Despeckling”

removes “noise” from the scanned images, again resulting in higher OCR accu-

racy.

Finally, the multiline scanning mode increases the ease-of-use. It allows

you to scan several lines of text. All scanned data is temporarily “buffered” until

you press the pen button to “trigger” the output. This scanning mode also ensures

a natural prosody. When the speech synthesis has to pronounce individual text
