Getting Status Updates

After the Recognize method is called and the recognition process has begun, the user can call the GetStatus method to get information about the accuracy and timing data of the last recognition process. The GetStatus method updates the RecognizeStatus property with the current recognition information.

The RecognizeStatus property is a read only property that is updated with a pointer to an ILTRecognizeStatus object that contains information on the most recent recognition process. This information includes various character and word counts, as well as various times required for processing and recognizing the document.

The number of recognized characters and words are given in the RecognizedCharacterCount property and the RecognizedWordCount property. The number of rejected characters and words are provided in the RejectCharacterCount property and the RejectWordCount property.

Information on the amount of time required for various aspects of the entire recognition process are also provided. The amount of time spent in pre-processing is given in the PreProcessTime property. The amount of time spent on the page layout is provided in the DecompositionTime property. The RecognizedTime property contains the amount of time spent in pure recognition, while the ReadingTime property contains the amount of time spent from the start of recognition until the recognition results were written.
