Engine

This is preset to Advanced OCR Full Text.

Languages

This contains a single language, or a list of multiple languages separated by semicolons. The edit box can scroll to display all the selected languages. You cannot select languages here; this is for informative purposes only.

Select button

Use this button to select languages from the Recognition Languages window.

Mark Level

Use these settings to specify the minimum level of confidence to accept for character recognition. Characters that do not meet the minimum level are marked with the mark flag.

General

Use this setting to select from three levels of confidence. The default level is Medium. The other choices are Low and High.

A setting of Low indicates a lower level of recognition confidence, which results in fewer mark flags.

A setting of Medium indicates a moderate amount of recognition confidence which results in more mark flags than with the Low setting.

A setting of High indicates that you require a greater degree of recognition confidence, which may result in more mark flags than the other levels.

Specific

Use this setting to specify a precise level of confidence ranging from 0 to 100.

The level value for Low is 75.

The level value for Medium is 85.

The level value for High is 95.

Spell check and Spell check flag

Select the Spell check option to have unrecognized words compared to entries in a dictionary of known values. If they do not match, a spell check flag is inserted in front of the non-matching word. A default dictionary is used corresponding to the currently selected language. You can also specify a custom dictionary by selecting a text file in the Document Class Properties Window - OCR Tab.

Use the Spell check flag to specify a character used to indicate words that are not found in a dictionary. You can specify only a single character. Note that the following occurs when you have enabled and specified a spell check flag:

  • For a single language: All words are flagged when the selected language does not have a dictionary.

  • For multiple languages: Only words not found in the dictionary are flagged. If the selected language does not have a dictionary, then the word is not flagged.

If a word is flagged twice, once with the spell check flag and once with the confidence mark flag, the spell check flag is first, followed immediately by the confidence mark flag.  However, if the two flags are set to the same character (for example ^), both flags are represented by a single character. This is the default behavior.
