Reading Special Characters with OCR

The acuRead tool is able to read special characters with optical character recognition (OCR). This capability:

  • Allows you to specify multiple special characters, including ‘-’ (dash), ‘.’ (period), and ‘ ’ (space), in the field string for a field position. acuRead returns a character based on the feature extracted from the image for any of these characters.
  • Gives the acuRead tool the ability to distinguish between special characters.
