Change the behavior of the Auto-Zoning-Page feature

Hello,

I' have been using for a while the excellent OCR provided within LEADTOOLS OCR Application for MacOSX

But today, I try to deal with a way to change how could work the Auto Zone Page method.

I would need the Auto-Zoning, to follow the "natural" read path:



Could he set Zone 2 as Zone 1 instead, and Zone 6 as Zone 2, etc ?

Thanks for your help

Hello Toucouleur,

After autozoning the document, you can reorder the zones by accessing the Zones property of the appropriate OcrPage documented here:

https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v20/dh/fo/iocrpage-zones.html

For more control, you can also create the zones yourself by simply adding individual OcrZone objects you create to this collection. This is mentioned breifly in our OCR Tutorial linked here:

https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v20/dh/to/ocr-tutorial-adding-and-painting-zones.html

The ordering of the zones does not affect the text position within the output document, as this is based on the individual character positions. Our toolkit is designed to maintain the original layout of the document when converting. For this reason, Autozoning is generally preferred when you simply want to convert a document from one format to another searchable form without necessarily extracting the text itself. If the ordering is relevant to your code, you can modify the zone collection mentioned above.

Thanks Josh,

so according to your answer, there is no possibility to change the way we got the output document even with correct zones.

Well thanks for your help anyway

Hello Toucouleur,

Can you explain what you mean? Are you getting any issues when you convert the document with the autozone numbering? Can you provide a sample document and project of what you are trying to do with our toolkit?
