Manage recognition

Recognition refers to four different, yet inter-dependent components.

Recognition Engine

An engine is third-party software used to perform OCR or OMR.

Recognition Method

A method consists of a single engine, or a combination of engines, as used in the Mixed Page Print profile type.

Recognition Profile Type

There are different types that can be applied to a recognition profile. Depending on the type selected, different recognition engines and properties are available.

Recognition Profile

A profile consists of a profile type and a recognition engine.

By default, there are several predefined recognition profiles using the OmniPage and FineReader recognition engines.

The FineReader recognition engine will be deprecated in the next release of Kofax TotalAgility. As a result, Kofax recommends that you use the OmniPage recognition profile for both page and zone recognition for all new projects. If you have existing projects that use one or more FineReader profiles, it is also recommended that you modify those projects to use a comparable OmniPage profile.

In order to meet specific recognition requirements, you can:

• Add a page/mixed print page recognition profile

• Add a zone recognition profile

• Add an OMR recognition profile

• Rename a recognition profile

• Modify a recognition profile

• Delete a recognition profile

• Copy a recognition profile

• Set a recognition profile as the default profile

• Import a recognition profile

• Export a recognition profile

• Define recognition substitutions
