OCR Tool (IntelliText OCR) Advanced Parameters

 

IntelliText OCR improves consistency and readability of a variety of substandard marks, such as inkjet marks or marks on noisy backgrounds. Significant improvements over Standard OCR can be seen in the following areas:

 

 

Min Character Area (Pixels) is displayed only when you disable the Allow Segmented Characters option. This setting specifies the minimum size of a character, thereby eliminating segments that are too small to be characters by themselves. The default setting is 40 pixels.

 

Unknown Character is the character that will be returned from the font reading process when no match can be made within the selected font. The default: character is ?. For example, if the tool cannot decipher the 'H' in "MICROHAWK", the output string will be MICRO?AWK.

 

If the string has multiple lines, the Multiline Separator will be inserted into the string between lines.

 

Discard Boundary Characters ignores characters that touch the search box.

 

Character Slant Detection turns on if characters are expected to slant heavily to the right or the left. Detection is better for non-slanted characters when Character Slant Detection is turned off.

 

Single Line Detection turns on when there is only a single line of characters. This helps optimize character segmentation for difficult symbols. Often the best option for difficult symbols is to add one OCR Tool per line and then to use the String Format Tool to concatenate the strings into a single string.
