Font Selection: Allows you to select the font to use, to create a new font, or to edit the current font library. New fonts are created from existing font libraries.
Font Editor...: Start the Font Editor. The Font Editor allows you to view character sets, remove trained samples, display user-defined characters, and more. See the Font Editor section for details.
New Font...: New Fonts can be made based on existing default fonts. Press the [New Font...] button, select the font template you want to base on, and give the new font a name. See the Add/Remove Fonts section for instructions on how to add and remove user fonts.
Allows you to specify character requirements in multiple ways – Confidence, Character Polarity, Min./Max. Height, and Min./Max. Width.
Confidence: Allows you to specify the minimum level of character identification confidence required before a character will be read and output. (Range: 0.0 to 1.0)
Character Polarity: Allows you so specify Dark Characters – black characters on a white background – and Light Characters – white characters on a black background.
Min./Max. Height: Allows you to configure the minimum and maximum character height limits. (Range: 10 to 200)
Min./Max. Width: Allows you to configure the minimum and maximum character width limits. (Range: 1 to 200)
Scaling Factor: If a symbol is very large or very small, adjust Scaling Factor to make the character height 30 pixels tall – the best height for the algorithm. For example, if a character is 60 pixels tall, set Scaling Factor to 0.5. See the Scaling Factor section for details.
Match String: Allows you to specify the string that must be matched for the OCR Tool to pass. See the OCR Tool Match String for details. (up to 254 strings)
Image Binarization: Converts grayscale images to black and white (binary) to optimize the readability of poorly segmented characters.
Binarization Mean Factor: Sets the average coefficient for binarization. This can be set when the binarization threshold mode is the [Fixed Template] method. (Range: 0.0 to 1.0)
Binarization Dynamic Range: Sets the dynamic range for binarization. This can be set when the binarization threshold mode is the [Fixed Template] method. (Range: 0.0 to 1.0)
See the Image Binarization section for details on how to adjust each parameter.
Makes it easier for the tool to recognize and read characters in an image. See the Image Pre-Processing section for details.
