To improve the recognition results, you can use Readiris' Training Mode. By means of training you
can train the recognition system on fonts and character shapes, and correct the OCR results if
necessary. During the training process, any characters the recognition system isn't sure of are
displayed in a preview window, in combination with the word in which they were spotted and the
result suggested by Readiris.

Training can substantially enhance the accuracy of the recognition system and is particularly useful
when recognizing distorted, defaced forms. Training can also be used to train Readiris on special
symbols it is unable to recognize initially, such as mathematical and scientific symbols and dingbats.
ATTENTION: training occurs during recognition. The training results are temporarily stored in the
computer memory, for the duration of the recognition. Readiris will no longer display the trained
characters when OCRing the rest of the document. When a new document is OCRed, the training
results are erased. To save training results permanently, use the Training Mode in combination with
a font dictionary.
To enable Training mode:
 Click the Training menu.
 Select Training Mode.
