NUANCE OMNIPAGE PRO 6 - REFERENCE MANUAL FOR WINDOWS Reference Manual page 69

5 recognized as the letter S. You can
create and use a zone contents file to
prevent this (see "Create a Zone Con-
tents File" on page 60 for information).
6 Specify other characters in the same way such as the lowercase ü
and é, and the copyright (©) symbol.
Characters OmniPage believes it identified correctly are listed
alphabetically below the suspect characters. Check for common
errors, such as a 5 being recognized as the letter S.
Generally, you will not want to train OmniPage to recognize
common letters unless they are in a very specialized font. One
way to prevent these common errors is to use a special zone
contents files during recognition, such as the numeric finance
zone contents file created in the previous tutorial.
Even if a character is not recognized, OmniPage corrects most
common OCR errors by analyzing the structure of a word and
comparing it to entries in the dictionary.
