 Cmd-click to select the Secondary languages.

The list of secondary languages changes depending on the
selected primary languages.

Note: do not select languages that do not apply; the bigger the

of OCR errors.

HARACTERISTICS

(This section does not apply when processing Asian or Hebrew

documents)

Next to the document language, other document characteristics such
as the Font type and Character pitch play an important role in the
recognition process.

Font type

Readiris distinguishes between "regular" and dot matrix printed
documents. Dot matrix symbols (of the type 9 pin) are made up of
isolated, separate dots.

Special segmentation and recognition techniques are required to
recognize dot matrix documents and need to be activated.
