Confidence values are calculated on several factors depending upon recognition characteristics. They should only be considered as relative and only to other results of the same type.
The Confidence property of the Result object specifies the confidence value the recognition engine uses for the analysis of the ICR/OCR character, text line, or text block. The value range is 0 - 100, where 100 is the greatest confidence.
