To assure the highest possible accuracy, TextBridge Pro provides
an interactive training capability. This feature enables you to
participate in the OCR process, verifying correctly recognized
words and correcting recognition errors.
Interactive training is especially effective for degraded documents
such as faxes and multi-generation photocopies.
As you correct and/or accept TextBridge Pro's recognition
decisions for a page or two, you also train the program to improve
its own accuracy rate for later pages of the document.
In addition, you can save and later reload training data to
assure that other documents of the same type are recognized with
the same high degree of accuracy.
For this example, use the on-line sample document named
plexis.
1. On the main toolbar, push in the Input from File and Train
OCR buttons (and make sure the Preview button is not
still pushed in from Tutorial Session 2):
2. In the Preferences Panel, make sure the Original Quality
pop-up menu is set to Automatic or Fax.
3. Click the Go button on the main toolbar.
