Question

How to recognize text written in Gothic?

Answer

FineReader Engine provides 6 languages to recognize Gothic type:

1. LatvianGothic
2. OldEnglish
3. OldFrench
4. OldGerman
5. OldItalian
6. OldSpanish

Use TT_Gothic text type and the mentioned languages' names to tune RecognizerParams object.

C# code

FREngine.IEngine engine;
FREngine.IFRDocument frdoc;
// We presume that the document has been created and images have been added to the document
// Create DocumentProcessingParams and set parameters
FREngine.IDocumentProcessingParams dpp = engine.CreateDocumentProcessingParams();
FREngine.IRecognizerParams rp = dpp.PageProcessingParams.RecognizerParams;
rp.TextLanguage = "OldFrench";
rp.TextTypes = TextTypeEnum.TT_Gothic;
// Perform processing
frDoc.Process( dpp );
