Remarks

• User patterns are files that specify a number of pairs “image of a character — the character itself”. User patterns may be used during recognition to identify characters of non-standard fonts. To use a user pattern during recognition, specify a path to it in the IRecognizerParams::UserPatternsFile property.
  • For Linux, user patterns may be trained using the TrainUserPattern method of the Engine object.
  • For Windows, user patterns may be edited via the IEngine::EditUserPattern method or trained during recognition. See Recognizing with Training.
• The method is enabled only if the license supports the User Patterns Training module.
• Pattern training is not supported for CJK languages.
