# X Overlap

In some character strings, adjacent characters might overlap each other along the x-axis of the baseline. You can specify a non-zero CharacterFragmentMinXOverlap to refine how the segmentation process handles disconnected but overlapping features.

A small value allows the OCRMax Tool to consider two character fragments with a minimal overlap to be parts of the same character, while a large value forces the tool consider the same two character fragments as parts of adjacent characters.
