User Lexicons (Readiris Corporate only)
During recognition, Readiris is assisted by linguistic databases to recognize text correctly. These
linguistic databases are standard lexicons and are available for every supported language.
As powerful as these standard lexicons may be, the recognition accuracy can still be boosted using
customized user lexicons. By means of user lexicons, Readiris can recognize technical, scientific, legal
and company-specific terminology it would otherwise have difficulty with.
See the section Using User Lexicons for more information.
Speed vs. Accuracy
In Readiris you can choose whether to favor recognition speed over accuracy and the other way
around.
Tip: when you are processing low-quality images, it is recommended to set this feature to
accuracy. This yields markedly better results.
To access the Speed vs. Accuracy option:
 Click the Settings > Advanced Text Recognition Options.
 Click the Accuracy list and then select the required option.
