IMAQ OCR Set Valid Characters

Specifies the characters that are valid for each character position in the image.

IMAQ OCR Read Character Set File

Reads a character set and session properties from the character set file specified by File Path.

IMAQ OCR Write Character Set File

Stores the trained character set and properties of the session in the file specified by File Path.

IMAQ OCR Verify Text

Verifies the accuracy of the text in the image.

IMAQ OCR Set Reference Character
