Recognize

This method performs the OCR within the coordinates of the zone using the image assigned to the page or passed as a parameter to this method.

Syntax

The OCR result is stored in the Worktext object passed as first parameter. Depending on the assigned recognition settings object, the type of recognition can be either character recognition, barcode recognition or Optical Mark Recognition (OMR).

Recognize (Result As ISCBCroWorktext, [Image As ISCBCroImage = FALSE], [PageNumber As Long = 1])

Parameter	Description
Result	Must contain a valid reference to a Worktext object, which can either be uninitialized or already contain data from a previously executed Recognize method. This method appends all new data, so that results from previous recognitions do not get lost.
Image	Optional parameter The default value is 0. Possible values NULL: Recognition performs on the image assigned to the page. Reference to an image object: Recognition performs on this image. To use preprocessing or locating features, assign the image to the page and set this parameter to NULL.
PageNumber	Optional parameter The default value is 0. This parameter is forwarded to the AppendImage method of the worktext object. To append the recognition results of several pages to one worktext object, you can specify a page number here that will then appear in the worktext object.

Parameter

Description

This method appends all new data, so that results from previous recognitions do not get lost.

Image

Optional parameter

The default value is 0.

Possible values

NULL: Recognition performs on the image assigned to the page.

Reference to an image object: Recognition performs on this image.

To use preprocessing or locating features, assign the image to the page and set this parameter to NULL.

PageNumber

Optional parameter

The default value is 0.

This parameter is forwarded to the AppendImage method of the worktext object.
