Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the word this character is part of has passed spell checking.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public bool WordIsCertain { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL wordIsCertain;

public boolean getWordIsCertain() 
public void setWordIsCertain(boolean value)

public: 
property bool WordIsCertain { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

WordIsCertain # get and set (OcrCharacter)

Property Value

True if the word this character is part of has passed spell checking; otherwise it is false.

Remarks

The word is certain if it passes one of the following criteria:

The engine is very confident of the letters of the word, even if the word is not in the dictionary
The engine is not very confident, but the word is in the dictionary

To get the recognized characters of a page, call IOcrPage.GetRecognizedCharacters after IOcrPage.Recognize.

To update the recognized characters of a page, call IOcrPage.GetRecognizedCharacters before calling IOcrDocument.Save or IOcrDocument.SaveXml.
