Correction of Recognized Character Data  
As the recognition cannot be perfect for all business cards, some revision of the recognized results  
may be necessary. This chapter describes how to correct the recognition results.

ing  
If front side of the business card is shown in right side (or lower side) of the Image View win-  
dow, swap the images by clicking , and try the recognizing again (See Section 5.1).  
as shown Section 1.4. Then try again.  
If a photo or logo is near the character a miss-recognition may occur. In this case, exclude the  
image area by using the rectangle selection method (Section 5.2 or 5.3), and try recognition  
again.  
If character recognition still does not succeed, enter the correct character(s) manually.  
5
The items to be recognized can be changed. See Section 6.2.  
ATTENTION  
Good OCR(Optical Character Recognition) are dependent on:  
1. The placement of the text on the business card  
2. The font size used for the text.  
3. The style of font used.  
4. The condition of the business card.  
5. Other factors may also apply.
