Supported image formats

This library supports single page, black and white or 8 bit gray-scale TIF and images, or color JPEG images with a resolution of 200-300 DPI. Color depth can be black-and-white (1 bpp), grayscale (8 bpp) or color (24 bpp). 32-bit color is not supported. If color or 8-bit gray scale images are provided, these images are automatically binarized in memory before the recognition, leaving the original image untouched. If desired, you can use actions to binarize images can before processing so you have a saved black and white image, you could use one a separate action to convert to black and white before performing check recognition. Be aware the binarization of the separate action cannot be identical to the method used during recognition.

CAUTION:

The binarization of the separate action may not be identical to the method used during recognition.

The check image must be the size of the check itself. Any borders or white space around the check image must be cropped making the actual image the same size as the check recognition might not be correct.
