Proofreading OCR Results
After a page is recognized, the recognition results appear in the Text Editor. Proofreading
starts automatically if that was requested in the Proofing panel of the Options dialog box. You
can start proofing manually any time. Work as follows:
1. Click the Proofread OCR tool in the Standard toolbar, or choose Proofread OCR... in the
Tools menu.
2. Proofing starts from the current page, but skips text already proofed. If a suspected error is
detected, the OCR Proofreader dialog box colors the suspect word in its context, adds a
yellow highlight to any suspect characters and provides a picture of how the word
originally looked in the image. The explanation says ‘Suspect word’ or ‘Non-dictionary
word’.
3. If the recognized word is correct, click Ignore or Ignore All to move to the
next suspect word. Click Add to add it to the current user dictionary and move
to the next suspect word.
4. If the recognized word is not correct, modify the word in the Edit panel or select a
dictionary suggestion. Click Change or Change All to implement the change and move to
the next suspect word. Click Add to add the changed word to the current user dictionary
and move to the next suspect word.
5. As an alternative to clicking a suggestion to select it and Change to accept it, hold down
the Ctrl key and enter the suggestion number.
6. Color markers are removed from words in the Text Editor as they are proofread. You can
switch to the Text Editor during proofing to make corrections there. Use the Resume
button to restart proofing. Click Page Ready to skip to the next page and Document Ready
or Close to stop proofreading before the end of the document is reached.
7. A page is marked with the proofed icon on its thumbnail and in the Document
Manager if proofing ran to the end of the page. Choose Recheck Current Page... from the
T
ools menu to re-proof a page.
