Area types

ABBYY FineReader marks documents using the following area types:

  • Text (highlighted in green)
    The contents of this area are recognized as text.
    Hint: In the context menu for a text area, you can specify the orientation, direction, and function of the text to make recognition more precise and to recreate the formatting of the original document.
  • Picture (highlighted in red)
    The contents of this area are not recognized and are instead recreated in the result document in their original state.
  • Table (highlighted in blue)
    The contents of this area are recognized taking into account the structure of the table.
    Hint: ABBYY FineReader offers special options and tools for working with tables.
  • Background Picture (highlighted in brown)
    The contents of this area are not recognized and are instead recreated in the result document as the background.
  • Recognition (highlighted in grey)
    Hint: To analyze or recognize a part of a page instead of the whole page:
    1. Draw one or several recognition areas.
    2. Select the appropriate areas.
    3. Select the appropriate command in the Area app menu or in the context menu for one of the selected areas.

Hint: You can change the type of the selected area by using the appropriate command in the Area app menu or in the context menu for that area.
