Using the Text Corrector

The Text Corrector allows you to correct the recognition results. Note that the Text Corrector is meant for text corrections. It is not a Text Editor in which you can change the layout of the document, delete entire paragraphs, merge content, etc.

To access the Text Corrector:

Note: the Text icon is only available if you have at least one document open in Readiris.

How does the Text Corrector work?

The Text Corrector displays the recognition results of the currently selected page. The original image is shown in the left-hand column and the recognized text in the right-hand column.

Important note: if a page does not contain any Recognition Zones, there will be no text results to display.

To switch to horizontal view, click H. The recognized text is now displayed above the original image.

By default the recognized text is shown in the original layout. If you want to display only flowing text without images, select Flowing text in the drop-down list.

The suspected words are marked in yellow. The spelling corrector underlines the words that are detected as incorrect.

Correcting Text

Tip: Ctrl-click a word to display spelling suggestions in the Context menu.

Note that you can delete one line at a time.

Also note that it is not possible to make a selection of non-contiguous characters or words.

Note that the Undo operation is not limited to text corrections. It also undoes changes to the current page, page reordering, etc.

Also note that page deletion cannot be undone.
