Return Value

Some of the OCR engines supported by LEADTOOLS (for example, the OcrEngineType.Plus and OcrEngineType.Professional supports saving the recognition result using the engine native save mechanism instead of the LEADTOOLS Document Writers. Use the GetEngineSupportedFormats method to get a list of the names of the native formats and the EngineFormat property to set the format to use when saving the results.

It is recommended that you use the LEADTOOLS Document Writers supported formats always when saving OCR recognition data. For more information refer to DocumentFormat. Support for native engine formats may be deprecated in later versions of LEADTOOLS.

To save the recognition results using the engine native format:

• Obtain the engine native format name through the GetEngineSupportedFormats.
• Set the engine format name in the EngineFormat property
• Call the various save methods (IOcrDocument.Save or IAutoRecognizeManager.Run) using DocumentFormat.User for the format parameter.

For more information on the various document formats supported by LEADTOOLS refer to DocumentFormat.
