l
If proper names or nouns are expected (i.e. only the first letter must be a capital letter), select
Capitalization in the Case option menu. Only the first letter would be converted to a capital let-
ter.
l
If no specific format is expected, select None in the Case option menu. The letters will be inter-
preted as written, no conversion will be done i.e. characters in lower case will be displayed as
such.
l
The collected data is expected to be a combination of numbers and letters, therefore the alpha-
numeric mask type must be selected.
Why: Reducing the number of expected characters increases the probability that the correct one is
matched. This allows us to avoid that the letter l (a lowercase L) is not recognized as the numeric value
1 (one) and vice versa. Or, if the mask type is identified as alphanumeric, there’s a possibility that the
letter a is recognized as 2; since Capture will also interpret how the movement was traced.
How: Use the following options from the Capture options tab under Mask Type and Case option to fil-
ter the expected data.
The following diagram illustrates the available mask types. It is recommended to select the mask type
that is the closest to the desired result. An alphanumeric field should be used as a last resort.
