When scanning and opening documents, Readiris applies several Page Analysis options.
To access these options:
On the Readiris menu, click Preferences.
Click the Page Analysis tab.

The options you set here are applied as default to all the documents you'll open or scan. Note that changing these options does not affect the images that are already open in Readiris.
Note that you can also access these options via the Settings menu.
Page Analysis is selected by default. This option divides your documents into recognition zones. Without recognition zones, Readiris cannot process your documents. If you choose to disable this function, you will need to draw recognition zones manually on your documents.
This option detects in which direction your documents are oriented and rotates them automatically.

This option staightens - or deskews - pages that were scanned at an angle.
When your scanner generates black borders around your documents, or when your documents contain information that is partially cut from the page, Readiris tends to create recognition zones on the borders of the document, even though they do not contain any useful content. In such cases it is recommended to use the option Ignore Border Zones.
In Readiris you can choose whether to favor recognition speed over accuracy and the other way around.
Click the Accuracy list and then select the required option.

When you are done, close the Preferences window. The settings are saved automatically.
