Developers have full access to the internal recognition results. FineReader Engine provides basic information like: the character coordinates, but also very advanced attributes, like: font and formatting information and word and character recognition hypotheses

The information is available via API and XML Export, so that they can be used for automated correction. For simplified, user driven correction and verification, version 9.0 offers visual components (ActiveX controls). So layout analysis results and uncertainly recognised characters can be changed, but also the page order within a document. Available components are:

• Scan Interface
• Document Viewer
• Image Viewer
• Text Editor
• Text Validator

… more to come
