Reading zones are fixed areas in documents that contain information you want to extract.
They display as transparent rectangles with a gray background and red borders. Each zone receives a name composed from the word Zone and a consecutive number.
The following reading zone types are available.
- OCR The contents of the reading zone are determined using optical character recognition. The textual content of the zone is the result of this process.
- Barcode The contents of the reading zone are determined using bar code recognition. The number or strings represented by the bar code is the result of this process.
- OMR The contents of the reading zone are determined using optical mark recognition. The degree of blackness within the zone is used as indicator. A Boolean value is the result of this process.
