Paragraph is an element that describes a paragraph. When searching for the paragraph, the program considers all text objects wholly or partially contained within the search area. A Paragraph element is marked with Paragraph element icon in the tree of elements. This element is used to search for text paragraphs whose text is unknown. The program considers the Recognized Words and Recognized Lines objects detected by pre-recognition that fall within the element’s search area.

Remove stamp

When recognizing payment documents, stamps placed over text can pose a problem. Typically, a stamp is placed in the bottom right corner of the text. The text fragment with a superimposed stamp is practically illegible and is recognized by the program as bits of phrases that make no sense. To avoid this, do not include the stamped text fragment in the block and key in the text manually from the image. This way, you will not have to remove the incorrectly recognized text. If Remove stamp is enabled, the program analyzes the bottom right corner of the search area and removes any bits of text that may have been caused by a superimposed stamp.
