Training OCR for Special Characters
A
training file
is a set of pre-recognized text characters that OmniPage
Pro compares with characters on a page image during OCR. You can
create a training file for special characters that might normally be
difficult to recognize such as the copyright symbol © or the registered
trademark symbol ®.
To create a training file:
1 Open the image file or scan the page that includes characters
you want to train.
2 Create zones around the text that you want to train.
3Set
Train OCR
as the command in the OCR button’s drop-down
list.
4 Click the OCR button or choose
Train O CR
in the Process menu.
OmniPage Pro analyzes the document and then opens the Train
Characters dialog box.
5 Double-click a character you want to train. Or select it and click
Specify
.
Most characters do not need to be trained. Look for uncommon
characters such as the copyright symbol ©.
Do not train OmniPage Pro for regular characters because it may
interfere with recognition.
