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.
