Proofing and editing

Recognition results are placed in the Text Editor. These can be

recognized texts, tables, forms and embedded graphics. This

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor is detailed in

this chapter. Asian text handling is in some respects different from

other languages. See “Asian language re

cognition” on page 61.

The editor display and formatting levels

The Text Editor displays recognized texts and can mark words that

were suspected during recognition with red, wavy underlines. They

are displayed with red characters in the OCR Proofreader.

A word may be suspect because it was not found

in any active

dictionary: standard, user or professional. It may also be suspect as a

result of the OCR process, even if it is found in the dictionary. If the

uncertainty stems from certain characters in the word, these are

shown with a yellow highlight, both in the Editor and the OCR

Proofreader.

Choose to have non-dictionary words marked or not in the Proofing

pan

of the Options dialog box. All markers can be shown or

hidden as selected in the Text Editor panel of the Options dialog

box. You can also show or hide non-printing characters and header/

footer indicators. The Text Editor panel also lets you define a unit of

measurement for the program and a word wrap setting for use in all

Text Editor formatting levels except Plain Text.

OmniPage 17 can display pages with three l

evel

s of formatting. You

can switch freely between them with the three buttons at the

bottom left of the Text Editor or from the View menu.
