Resolution enhancement
Select one of the following options to enhance the original image resolution and improve the recognition quality.

Resolution enhancement option Description

No

No resolution enhancement is applied.

Yes

Enhancement is applied with the ratio of 2:0.

Legacy

The ratio of enhancement depends on the resolution of the non-BW (black-and-white) image. If the resolution is 160 DPI or less, the ratio of 2:0 is applied. If the resolution is between 160 and 210 DPI, the ratio of 1:5 is applied.

Standard

The ratio of enhancement is detected dynamically: it depends on the resolution and the detected average character size of the non-BW image. If the resolution exceeds 210 DPI, the enhancement is not applied.

Auto (default)

The ratio of enhancement depends on the current operation setting that can be configured to optimize accuracy or performance.

Zone type
Select one of the following options to define the zone type to be recognized.

Zone type option Description

Text (default)

The recognition engine automatically recognizes the page/zone as text.

Table

The recognition engine automatically recognizes the page/zone as a table. This setting can impact the output of OCR Full Text. For example, for CSV export, the output can be filled with empty strings for the separated values.

Picture

If selected, the recognition engine finds graphical zones automatically.

Single word

The recognition engine limits the result to one word only.

Text type
