CharacterRecognitionVariant Object (ICharacterRecognitionVariant Interface)

CharacterRecognitionVariant object (ICharacterRecognitionVariant interface) in the ABBYY FineReader Engine API — Represents one recognition variant for a single character with confidence, Serif font probability, and superscript/subscript flag; element of CharacterRecognitionVariants for the Voting API.

This object represents the variant of a character recognition. The object provides access to the variant itself and its confidence, probability that a character is written with a Serif font, and the information whether the character is superscript or subscript. It is an element of the CharacterRecognitionVariants collection. You can select the best recognition variant for a character by voting between the variants. See Using Voting API for details.

The Voting API is not available for handwritten/handprinted texts recognition.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
Application	Engine, read-only	Returns the Engine object.
Character	BSTR, read-only	Returns the variant of a character recognition.
CharConfidence	int, read-only	Stores the value of recognition confidence for this variant of character recognition. Confidence estimates the accuracy of a recognition variant. It should not be understood as a general recognition quality measure: the only safe use of confidence is for comparing recognition variants of the same character. The characters extracted from the source PDF file without recognition have confidence set to 55.
IsSubscript	VARIANT_BOOL, read-only	Specifies whether the character is subscript.
IsSuperscript	VARIANT_BOOL, read-only	Specifies whether the character is superscript.
SerifProbability	int, read-only	The value of this property specifies probability that a character is written in a Serif font. It is in the range from 0 to 100, and 255 corresponds to the fact that the probability is undefined.
