Remarks

Notes:

For best performance, select only the necessary languages. Increasing the number of languages can cause recognition to be slower and less accurate. Setting duplicate languages can also have a negative impact on accuracy.
The English characters [A..Z a..z] are available in most languages, including Greek and Cyrillic.
Multiple languages must be in the same language family group. (See Language Families table below.)
Thai and English may be selected together even though they are in different language families.
Vietnamese and English may be selected together even though they are in different language families.
When ChineseSimplified and ChineseTraditional are selected, both languages are read and the character with the highest confidence is used in the result.
ChineseSimplified, ChineseTraditional, ChineseTraditionalHk, Japanese, Korean, Thai or Vietnamese are only available if the SmartZone SDK has been licensed for Asian languages.
