Recognition Modules and the Widest Available Character Set

The correct assignment of a recognition module and a filling method to a zone should mean that the recognition module is able to satisfactorily process the contents of that zone. But it does not guarantee that the recognition module will be able to process every possible character. The characters supported by the Engine are listed in Characters and Code Pages. Most recognition modules recognize only a subset of these. Even if we restrict the character set to a limited Language Environment, e.g., selecting the German language, the recognition module may not be able to process all the enabled characters. Automatic recognition module selection takes Character Set support of modules into consideration. Selecting a recognition module directly, it is the programmer’s responsibility to select a recognition module capable of supporting the widest character set enabled in the zone. Otherwise this zone may have an incomplete recognition result. The precise character and language support for each module is given in the appropriate recognition module specifications.
