KB Overview Documentation Comparisons FAQ Tips & How to Command Generator Support

The CLI Sample command-line generator is an online tool, which will help you to fine-tune recognition parameters and create commands to be used with the ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 CLI for Linux. All options listed below are grouped into categories, which represent the logical steps of the OCR process. These are cross-linked to the online documentation in case you need more information on a particular key and its parameters.

Note: The int value is calculated from the RGB triplet using the formula: (red value) + (256 x green value) + (65536 x blue value), where red value is the first triplet component, green value is the second triplet component, blue value is the third triplet component. Hence the int value of the color black equals 0.
