scanner, draw a frame around the text snippet to be recognized and wait until the
OCR is executed, then transfer the text result to your wordprocessor...
The IRISPen on the other hand offers real-time recognition. Slide your pen
over your text and in less than a second, it appears on your screen. Use the
IRISPen and you can type... with a stroke of a wand! The IRISPen gives you
text recognition at your fingertips!
It is important to note that you do not have to wait for the text result to appear
on your screen before you start scanning another line.
The IRISPen always inserts the recognized text at the cursor position. The
formatting as is active in your target application applies. When you have se-
lected, say, Palatino 12 point bold in your wordprocessor, the text you insert will
be in Palatino 12 point bold, whatever the original font, typestyle and point size
may have been.
READING DOT MATRIX DOCUMENTS
However, in some cases, you have to indicate the font of the source text! The
option "Dot Matrix" in the IRISPen application window determines whether you
are recognizing “normal” or dot matrix printed documents. Dot matrix recogni-
tion is limited to the IRISPen Executive.
Setting this parameter correctly is mandatory: “draft” or “9 pin” dot matrix
symbols are made up of isolated, separate dots, and highly specialized recognition
routines are required to recognize them.
