Background Recognition

If you wish to edit previously recognized pages and run recognition at the same time, you may find background recognition mode useful. To start background recognition:

• Select the Start Background Recognition item in the Process menu.
  The sign will appear in the status line at the bottom of ABBYY FineReader's main window. If Details view mode is active in the Batch window (to activate Details view mode, right-click on the Batch window and select Batch Window>Details in the local menu), the page currently being recognized will have the icon displayed in the Opened by column.

When background recognition mode is activated, recognition will resume automatically if an unrecognized page is added to the batch. 

Note: Running Background mode in the case of multiprocessor systems leads to an increase in recognition speed if the batch being processed contains a large number of pages.

To stop Background Recognition:

• Select the Stop Background Recognition item in the Process menu.

Note: Background recognition mode uses recognition options active at the moment it was started.
