Read Text (OCRMax) Identification Tool - Spaces Tab
The Spaces tab is used to specify how the tool will account for spaces between characters, if necessary. The Read Text (OCRMax) Identification Tool processes inter-character gaps by classifying them as space characters, and these are user-defined.
Find Spaces
Defines how the tool will handle the insertion of space characters into gaps between other characters: None (default), Insert Single Space or Insert Multiple Spaces.
- None: The tool will never insert a space character, regardless how large the inter-character gap between characters.
- Insert Single Space: The tool will insert a single space character per inter-character gap, regardless how large the inter-character gap between characters.
- Insert Multiple Spaces: The tool will insert x-number (zero or more) of space characters per inter-character gap.
Space Score Mode
Defines how the function will calculate scores for spaces: Always Score 100 (default) or Score Based on Clutter.
- Always Score 100: Space characters will always receive a score of 100.
- Score Based on Clutter: The score of a space character is based on the fraction of pixels that are background; a space character that consists entirely of background pixels will receive a score of 100.
Space Minimum Width
Defines the minimum width of a space character, in pixels (0 - 1000; default = 10).
Space Maximum Width
Defines the maximum width of a space character, in pixels (0 - 1000; default = 100).
