ABBYY FineReader 11 User’s Guide

To improve OCR quality, split the facing pages into two separate images. The program features a
special mode that automatically splits two facing pages into two separate images in the ABBYY
FineReader document.
Scanning facing pages or dual pages:
1. Open the Options dialog box from the Scan/Open tab (Tools>Options…).
2. Check the Split facing pages option in the Image Processing group.
3. Scan the pages.
The automatic splitting option is also available in the image opening dialog (File>Open PDF
File/Image…) and ABBYY FineReader's scanning dialog box. For details, see Selecting the
Scanning Interface.
Important! If the image contains text in Chinese or Japanese, use the Edit Image dialog box to
split pages manually. These types of images are not supported by the automatic page splitting
feature.
To split facing pages manually:
1. Open the Edit Image dialog box (Page>Edit Page Image…).
2. Use the options in the Split group to split the page.

Camera Requirements
Your camera should meet the following requirements in order to obtain document images that can
be reliably recognized.
Recommended camera characteristics
• Image sensor: 5 million pixels for A4 pages. Smaller sensors may be sufficient for taking pictures of
smaller documents such as business cards.
• Flash disable feature
• Manual aperture control, i.e. availability of Av or full manual mode
• Manual focusing
• An anti–shake system or ability to use a tripod
• Optical zoom
Minimum requirements
• Image sensor: 2 million pixels for A4 pages
• Variable focal distance. Fixed–focus cameras (lens focused on infinity) should not be used to
photograph documents. These types of camera are commonly built into mobile phones and PDAs.
