L_Doc2SetSpecialChar

#include "ltdoc2.h"

L_LTDOC2_API L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_Doc2SetSpecialChar(hDoc, pSpecialChar)

Sets the special characters.

Parameters

L_HDOC2 hDoc

Handle to the OCR document.

pSPECIALCHAR2 pSpecialChar

Pointer to a SPECIALCHAR2 structure, which contains the characters to be set.

Returns

Comments

Sets the special characters that will replace missing or rejected characters the next time the recognition process is run and results are saved.

To get the current special characters, call the L_Doc2GetSpecialChar / L_Doc2GetSpecialCharExt function.

To recognize one or more pages, call the L_Doc2Recognize / L_Doc2RecognizeExt function.

💡 TIP

Call this function after the recognition process has completed. When the L_Doc2SetSpecialChar / L_Doc2SetSpecialCharExt function is called with the specified characters, the engine will replace all missing or rejected characters with these newly set special characters. This helps the user find the missing or rejected characters with minimal effort when the recognition results are saved to a file.
