Adjusting Area Shapes and Area Borders
Before recognition, the program analyzes and highlights different area types, such as: Text,
Image, Tableand Barcode. Different types of border areas are distinguished by different colors.
ABBYY FineReader relies on this analysis to identify areas and the recognition order. This
information helps recreate the original page formatting.
The highlighted area is active. Click an area to make it active. You can use the Tabkey to navigate
through the areas. Each area is numbered. These numbersdetermine the order of navigation. By
default, the ordinal numbers of the areas are not displayed in the Imagewindow — this feature is
activated by selecting the area re–numbering function.
If the text of an area does not fit within its borders (this mayhappen, for example, if you edit the
recognized text), the text outside the borders of a non–active area may not be visible on the
screen. Red markers that appear on the borders of the area will alert you to this. Once an area
becomes active, its borders will expand to fit the entire text to the screen.
The tools for marking and editing the areas manually can be found in the Imagewindow and on
the pop–up toolbars for theText, Image, Background Picture, and Tableareas (pop–up
toolbars appear next to the active area).
Important!After you have finished adjusting the areas, re–launch the OCR process.
