Section 8: Editing the Recognized Documents
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, no recognition will be done.
In Readiris there are 4 kinds of recognition zones. You have text zones, image zones, table zones and
barcode zones.
Notice that each zone type has its own color.

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. When you select an output format that does not preserve the original layout,
this will be the order in which the zones are saved in the output document.
Viewing the Recognition Zones
Several viewing options are available allowing you to inspect the opened images and their recognition
zones.

Or move the slider to zoom in and out.
Note that you can also use keyboard shortcuts to apply these viewing options.
