Standard OCR Parameters

Connection Strength helps correct for characters that are either touching or are formed by individual dots such as those produced by a dot peen stylus or inkjet printing.

This parameter ranges from -3 (AutoVISION will search for characters that are underprinted or not touching) to 3 (AutoVISION will search for characters that are overprinted or touching).

When set to 0, AutoVISION does not perform any pre-processing (multiple passes of an "erode" function for -3, -2, and -1 or multiple passes of a "dilate" function for 1, 2, and 3), so processing time will be decreased.

OCR Tool (Standard OCR) Advanced Parameters

 

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.

 

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.
