# OCRMax

The OCRMax function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications. reads or verifies a text string within a Region of Interest (ROI), after being trained with user-defined character fonts. OCRMax performs Optical Character Recognition through a process of segmentation and classification. Segmentation occurs first and uses threshold techniques to identify the areas of the image that appear to contain lines of text. After the text has been segmented into characters, the characters are trained and stored as a font database. Classification occurs during run-time, and is responsible for “reading” any text found after the function performs segmentation. This is done by comparing the images of the segmented characters to the trained characters in the font.
