Countries and Languages for RecoStar Recognition
Language may vary from document to document or from paragraph to paragraph within a document, and even vary within a text line as single words may be written in a different language than the main text.
The country-specific style and conventions of handwriting, the general format of addresses, the most common vocabulary words, with regards to country-related spelling, are very important when configuring a recognition engine.
Also, each country may require more than one language. For example, Germany requires only German, whereas Switzerland requires German, French, Italian, and Rhaeto-Romantic.
To ensure your recognition results for multi-lingual documents are sufficient, you can either use only a country selection, or combine country and language selections.
For regional handwriting styles, standard lettering fonts, or a content type different from Alphanumeric, always select a single country only, and no language.
When using language groups, always limit your selection to one of the following:
-
Cyrillic (according to Windows code page 1251)
-
Greek (according to Windows code page 1253)
-
Latin (according to Windows code pages 1250 for Central Europe, 1252 for Western Europe, 1254 for Turkey, and 1257 for Baltic.)
-
Azerbaijanian
