•Position and movement of C-Pen

It is important how you hold and move C-Pen over the printed text. Please see Reading text, p. 22 or read the Quick Start folder to learn how to use

C-Pen correctly. It is crucial that you follow these instructions in order to get the best results.

•The language of the text

Set the text language of the text you wish to read, to get the most suitable OCR. See Text Language, p. 55.

•Deformed characters

Anything that is not a printed character, and any character distorted by a mark or smudge on the paper may be unrecognizable.

•Overlapping characters

Characters in the text should not overlap.

•Italics and underlined text

Italics are slightly difficult for C-Pen to read in some fonts. Underlined text is also difficult for C-Pen to read because the underline changes the shapes of the descenders of the letters g, j, p, q and y.

•Text colors - text and surface

C-Pen cannot read some combinations of text colors on colored surfaces, such as red or yellow text on a white or red background.

Text that is highlighted by a traditional highlighter marker can be read in some cases, depending on the color and darkness of the ink.

•Small or large character sizes

The size of the characters should be 5–22 points.
