Proofreading OCR results
After a page is recognized, the
recognition results appear in the Text Editor. Proofreading
starts automatically if that was requested in the Proofing
panel of the Options dialog box. You can start proofing
manually any time. Work as follows:
Click the Proofread
OCR tool in the Standard toolbar, or choose Proofread
OCR... in the Tools menu.
- Proofing starts from the
current page, but skips text already proofed. If
a suspected error is detected, the OCR Proofreader
dialog box colors the suspect word in its context,
adds a yellow highlight to any suspect characters
and provides a picture of how the word originally
looked in the image. The explanation says 'Suspect
word' or 'Non-dictionary word'.
- If
the recognized word is correct, click Ignore or Ignore
All to move to the next suspect word. Click Add to
add it to the current user dictionary and move to
the next suspect word.
- If the recognized word is not
correct, modify the word in the Edit panel or select
a dictionary suggestion. Click Change or Change All
to implement the change and move to the next suspect
word. Click Add to add the changed word to the current
user dictionary and move to the next suspect word.
- Color markers are removed from
words in the Text Editor as they are proofread. You
can switch to the Text Editor during proofing to
make corrections there. Use the Resume button to
restart proofing. Click Page Ready to skip to the
next page and Document Ready or Close to stop proofreading
before the end of the document is reached.
A page
is marked with the proofed icon on its thumbnail
and in the Document Manager if proofing ran to the
end of the page. Choose Recheck Current Page... from
the Tools menu to re-proof a page.
