  • The recognition language can be selected from the drop-down menu of the recognize button in the main toolbar. If a spelling dictionary is installed for a tesseract language definition, it is possible to choose between available regional flavors of the language. This will only affect the language for spell-checking the recognized text. Unrecognized tesseract language definitions will appear by their filename prefix, one can however teach the program to recognize such files by defining appropriate rules in the program configuration (see below). Multiple recognition languages can be specified at once from the Multilingual submenu of the drop-down menu. The installed tesseract language definitions can be managed from the Manage languages... menu entry in the drop-down menu of the recognize button, see also below.

  • When exporting to PDF, the user is prompted for the font family to use, whether to honour the font sizes detected by the OCR engine, and whether to attempt to homogenize the text line spacing. Also, the user can select the color format, resolution and compression method to use for images in the PDF document to control the size of the generated output.

  • The HOCR Batch Export button in the main toolbar allows batch-exporting a collection of hOCR HTML files to PDF/ODT/Text. All hOCR HTML files below the selected source folder are processed and corresponding PDF/ODT/Text files are written next to the HTML files. The Group outputs of N lowest levels option allows specifing that the HTML files of the N lowest hierarchy levels of the source tree are stored into a single exported PDF/ODT/Text file N folder levels above the lowest level.
