# [OCR Setting] dialog box

Use this dialog box to specify the settings for OCR.

### [Option for OCR]

Configure the settings related to OCR. These processes are applied to images that are passed to OCR, and therefore they are not applied to the source files.
Note
If you select [Perform OCR processing in color] for [OCR processing for color image], [Reduce noise of image before OCR] and [Level] cannot be set.

#### [Reduce noise of image before OCR]

Specifies to reduce noise from images. For color image, reduce noise after binarized to monochrome.
By default, this box is cleared.

#### [Level]

Specify the level of noise reduction. The default is [Normal].

#### [OCR processing for color image]

Specify whichever takes a priority between recognition and speed, when color and grayscale images are OCR processed.
[Convert to B&W and Prioritize Recognition] is effective for outline characters or characters in pale colors, as well as characters laid out on a background image. However, it may take more time in OCR-processing than [Convert to B&W and prioritize speed].
If you select [Perform OCR processing in color], the image to be OCRed is scanned in color mode and the scanned image is output in color.
The default is [Convert to B&W and prioritize speed].

#### [OCR Detailed Settings]
