The PLUS2W and PLUS3W recognition modules also require the presence of this module.

Recognition module language binaries are xi*.bin, as follows:

• For recognizing an English document, the filenames include the identifier ENG:
  • xiengb.bin
  • xiengc.bin
  • xiengd.bin
  • xienge.bin
  • xiengf.bin (used unaltered for all languages)
  • xiengl.bin (used unaltered for all languages)
  • xiengp.bin
  • xiengs.bin
  • xiengz.bin

The files xiengf.bin and xiengl.bin are required, unaltered, for all languages. All other languages have language-specific equivalents of the remaining seven files. The identifier eng is changed as follows:

• French: frn
• Italian: itl
• German: grm
• Dutch: dut
• Spanish: spn
• Portuguese: prt
• Swedish: swd
• Norwegian: nrw
• Danish: dan
• Finnish: fin
• Portuguese (Brazilian): brz

Application Areas

This recognition module recognizes machine printed text; i.e. from printed publications, laser or ink-jet printers and electric typewriters. Output from mechanical typewriters in good condition may also be acceptable. It should also be used for Letter or Near Letter Quality output from dot-matrix printers, and can also be used for Draft Quality.

Range of Characters

This module supports the characters of the following languages:

Language

English

French

Spanish

Italian

German

Norwegian

Portuguese

Danish

Dutch

Finnish

Swedish

Brazilian

Any of these languages can be combined.

Accuracy Issues

This module is influenced by the page-level trade-off setting, but reduces the three settings to two: FAST is respected, while BALANCED and ACCURATE are merged to one value.

Character Attributes

The omnifont recognition module can detect and transmit character attributes: bold, italic or underlined text (or any combination of them). It can also detect and transmit character size, and can classify font types into three broad categories: serif, sans serif and monospaced.
