- Handles up to 20% skew
- Deskew images in a fraction of a second
- Uses content of the images, not just the document edge
|
|
| Noise Removal |
- Remove random specks or noise from images
- Configurable user specification of speck size

|
|
| Dot Shading Removal |
- Automatically remove dot shading surrounding text for improved OCR accuracy
- Remove scanner noise caused by colored backgrounds (gray, blue, etc.)
- Reduce files sizes caused by additional pixels, without destroying text

|
| Blob Removal |
- Use to eliminate larger areas of black
|
|
| Line Removal |
- Automatically remove solid or broken lines (both horizontal and vertical) from scanned forms and documents
- Automatically repair text that intersects with lines (fill broken characters), essential for forms processing
|
|
| Character Completion & Smoothing |
- Repair, smooth and thicken incomplete characters
- Repair broken or incomplete characters to create complete characters
- Especially good on poor dot matrix text
- Smoothes ragged edges on letters
- Thickens or thins letters as needed

|
| Sub-Image Processing |
- Separate out an area from the original document image prior to image processing
- Speeds up processing and outputs only the smaller area of interest
|
|
| View and Magnify Images |
- View example images to help configure your batches
- Magnify images in a variety of ways to see fine details
- Measure spec and character sizes to ensure accurate settings
- Zoom in/out at any increment (25% default, configurable)
- Stretch box zooms on a selected portion of the image
- Flying magnifier works just like a magnifying glass over paper by magnifying the area directly beneath the magnifier tool
