OCR Settings
This property box lets you configure the OCR settings that will be applied to the documents chosen in the Schedule OCR activity's Documents to OCR property box.
To configure OCR settings
- Add the Schedule OCR activity to your workflow definition by dragging it from the Toolbox Pane and dropping it in the Designer Pane.
- Select the activity in the Designer Pane.
- Under
OCR Settings in the Properties Pane, select a language to help optimize the character recognition using the Language drop-down menu.
- Next to Options, select or clear the following options:
- Decolumnize: Select Decolumnize to convert multiple columns of generated text into a single column. Clearing the checkbox will preserve column formatting in the OCRed text, even if that separates words and sentences.
- Auto-rotate: Enable Auto-rotate to temporarily rotate images to an orientation suitable for OCR. If your images are skewed, select this option to ensure they are OCRed as correctly as possible. After the OCR process is performed, the image will return to its original orientation. If your images are all oriented correctly, clear this option.
- Next to Optimization, specify an optimization style. There is generally a trade-off between speed and accuracy.
- Speed: Reduces the amount of time it takes to OCR. Generated text may be less accurate. Choose this option if you are more concerned about the speed of your OCRing process than about having a few errors in the generated text.
- Standard: Neither optimum speed nor optimum accuracy, but a balanced between the two. Choose this option if you want the generated text to be fairly accurate, but you prefer the OCRing process not take the maximum amount of time to run.
- Accuracy: Increases OCR quality. Processing time will also be increased. Choose this option if you must have the most accurate text possible and are not concerned about how long it takes to run the OCRing process.
