Input Quality Types

If implemented in your program, the OCR control lets end users indicate the quality of the original documents they are going to OCR.  Indicating the quality of the original documents in advance of performing OCR can improve document recognition and processing time.

Auto Detect This setting is ideal for original documents whose pages vary in quality.  Imaging automatically detects the input quality of each page.  Note that this option requires additional processing time as Imaging performs its analysis.

Fax This setting is appropriate for original documents that were faxed or scanned at a resolution of 200 dots per inch or lower.

Dot Matrix This setting is appropriate for original documents that were printed on a dot-matrix printer.  It should not be used to process image documents having a different origin.

Normal This setting is ideal for original documents of good quality.

Note: OCR processing is available with Imaging for Windows Professional Edition V1.0, V1.1, and V2.0 only.
