Word Object (IWord Interface)
This object represents a word. It is an element of the collection of words (Words object).
Please note that the word which this object represents is an internal entity. It is not guaranteed to coincide with the word as understood in the natural language, with the word as defined by regular expression, or with the sequence of characters which is separated from other words by spaces. The main purpose of the Word object is to provide recognition variants for the word. If you need to work with the recognized text, use properties of other objects (e.g., IParagraph::Text).
The above is especially true if the text is written in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean — the "words" in those languages are separated purely for technical purposes and will not match the actual words.
Important! The Voting API is not available for handprinted texts recognition.
