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 a Document Language from the drop-down menu in the Acquire 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.
