Operation Manual
Section 3: Basic Document Processing
Processing documents with Readiris is fairly straightforward when using a basic configuration. In this
topic we discuss which steps to take when doing such a basic configuration. For detailed information
about the all the configuration steps, see sections 4 to 9.
Before you begin:
Select the Main document language in the Languages group.
Selecting the right document language is essential to obtain good recognition results with
Readiris. The default language is set to the language you selected during installation.
Note: you can always change the document language after opening a document, but know
that Readiris then has to redo the recognition on the entire document. This of course slows
down your process.

also the recognized text. See the section Editing the Recognized Documents

information.
