OCR Problems

Technical Information 57

Text Does Not Get Recognized Properly

Try these solutions if any part of the original document is not converted

to text properly during OCR:

• Look at the original page image and make sure that all text areas

are enclosed by text zones. If an area is not enclosed by a zone, it

is ignored during OCR. See the online Help for information on

creating and modifying zones.

• Make sure text zones are identified correctly. Reidentify zone

types and contents, if necessary, and perform OCR on the

document again. See “Changing Zone Properties” on page 24 for

more information.

• Adjust the Brightness and Contrast sliders in the

Scanner

settings

of the Options dialog box. You may need to experiment with

different settings combinations to get the desired results.

• Make sure the correct document languages are selected in the

OCR

settings. Only languages included in the document should

be selected.

• Train OmniPage Pro to recognize special characters that might

normally be difficult to recognize, such as the copyright symbol

Pro for regular characters because it may interfere with

recognition. See “Training OCR for Special Characters” in the

online Help for more information.

•If you use

Tr u e P a g e

as the

Output Format

setting, recognized text

gets put into frames (formatting boxes) in the text view. Some text

may be hidden from view if a frame is too small. To view the text,

place the cursor in the text frame and use the arrow keys on your

keyboard to scroll to the top, bottom, left, or right of the frame.

• Check the glass, mirrors, and lenses on your scanner for dust,

smudges, or scratches. Clean if necessary.

OmniPage Pro only recognizes machine printed-text characters such as

typewritten or laser-printed text. However, it can retain handwritten

text, such as a signature, as a graphic.
