Editing the Recognition Zones
Introduction
When you scan a document or open an image file in Readiris, each page is divided automatically into
recognition zones. Readiris uses these zones to determine how each part of your documents must
be converted. If your document does not contain any zones, it cannot be recognized.
In Readiris Pro there are 3 kinds of recognition zones. You have text zones, image zones and table
zones. In Readiris Corporate you can also have a fourth zone type, being barcode zones.
Notice that each zone type has its own color.

*Readiris Corporate only.
The zones are also numbered; notice the number in the top left corner of each zone. The numbers
run top-down and from left to right*. They indicate the order in which the zones are recognized.
*Note: when processing Arabic documents, the numbers run from right to left, if you select
Arabic as main language.
Example of recognition zones
Modifying the automatic Page Analysis
The zones we discussed above are created automatically. Note however that this automatic page
analysis is far from fixed. It can be modified in several ways. For instance, you can manually create
new zones, change the zone of existing zones, expand and reduce zones in size, change the sort
order, and so on.
Note: if you want to do text editing, use the Text Editor
.
