threshold is increased, characters will be rejected quicker if the
software is unsure. There will thus be less possible errors but more
rejected characters in the result. If the rejection threshold is decreased,
there will be less rejected characters in the result, but the level of
possible errors will be higher. For applications where extreme
accuracy is essential, you should thus set a high rejection level.
To adjust the rejection level, you must simply drag the slider bar to the
left or to the right.

Tip:
Unrecognized characters/symbols are by default represented by a tilde (the
"~" symbol) in the recognition result, but you can define another symbol that
best fits your needs. See: Learn how to... Define the symbol for unknown
characters.

• Click OK to confirm the settings and close the window.

PEECH SYNTHESIS

Thanks to the speech synthesis, you can make the IRISPen speak
out
the recognized data for you. Just scan some data and the
computer reads it out for you!
The speech synthesis feature is available in the language that was
chosen at the installation for speech synthesis*.

(*) Remember that you can possibly change the language supported by
deinstalling then reinstlaling the IRISPen. The following languages are
available: Brasilian, British English, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Russian.

Practically, you will no longer need to look up to the screen to
verify your recognition results. Think how useful this will be when
encoding new data, entering data into your bookkeeping, etc. The
IRISPen will also be a valued tool when learning a foreign
language: the computer will pronounce all new words for you, etc.

At any moment in time, you can also have the software repeat the
pronounced lines. The IRISPen will always repeat the last utterance.
