Setting Recognize Options and Proofing a Recognized Document
You can only apply a text style in the text view. You may apply a text style to
any selected text. Text can be styled with any combination of Bold, Italic,
and/or Underline. All text from the selected lines is changed to the selected
style.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each additional style to be applied.
4. After pages have been edited, you can save your changes in a Pro OCR file
format so you can edit the pages later on from within Pro OCR, or you can save
directly to a supported output file format. For more information, see
Chapter 6,
“Saving and Printing Documents.”
Using Dictionaries in Pro OCR
To improve recognition accuracy, Pro OCR performs automatic, internal spelling
verification during the Recognize step. This automatic spelling verification helps Pro
OCR identify suspect characters in the scanned text. Pro OCR does this using its
General dictionary, and—if you choose one—a user dictionary. There are three types
of dictionaries:
■ The General dictionary is an English-language dictionary. It comes with Pro
OCR and is used automatically during the recognition process.
■ A user dictionary is a file that contains words you’ve added to it that aren’t in
the General dictionary. Usually, you’ll create a user dictionary with proper
names, technical terms, product terminology, and other specialized words not
included in an ordinary dictionary, so that Pro OCR will be able to use these
words to help identify characters during the recognition process.
When you install Pro OCR, the General dictionary and the default user dictionary,
USER.DIC, are automatically installed.
