bitmapped character A character image made up of a pattern of dots that exists in a
computer file or in memory as a bitmap. Bitmapped
characters cannot be interpreted by a computer. In order for a
computer to use bitmapped characters in a word processor or
spreadsheet, the characters must first be interpreted by an
OCR application and translated into ASCII text.
bold text Text with the bold attribute looks like this. See also text
style.
brightness The relative amount of light or darkness reflected from an
image. A scanner’s brightness control is used in Pro OCR to
adjust for pages that are either too light or too dark.
broken character A character with one or more missing pieces, such as a
missing serif, stem, or cross bar. For example, a broken lower
case ‘e’ might not have a fully closed loop, which could
cause it to be misrecognized. Problems with broken
characters can be reduced by using the brightness setting in
Pro OCR to darken the image when scanning. Compare with
heavy character and touching characters.
built-in dictionary The dictionary that Pro OCR automatically loads and uses
whenever Recognize is done. The built-in dictionary is used
to enhance Pro OCR’s recognition accuracy and also to find
misspelled words in the document. Compare with
supplementary dictionaries and user dictionary.
CCITT Abbreviation for Consultative Committee on International
Telegraphy and Telephony; an international committee that
sets standards and makes recommendations for international
communication. One of the standards set by CCITT is for the
compression of image files. Pro OCR employs CCITT-
standard compression methods. See also

TIFF.
