Remarks
OCR recognizes characters by using the system dictionary and user definition dictionary. Common fonts are registered in the system dictionary in advance. Also, the user definition dictionary includes characters used in projects and imported to projects.

The DictionaryMode property switches mode of the system dictionary. The all character type mode is recognized by common fonts used in Europe, the United State, and Japan. The English restricted mode is recognized by common fonts of alphabet (A-Z, a-z), number (0-9), and ASCII character code such as “!,”. The non-use for system dictionary mode uses the user definition dictionary only to recognize.

The user definition dictionary is used all registered characters regardless of the dictionary mode.
