Adding or editing an OCR server

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x

Enter a Description of the module (up to 4000 characters).

Under Accuracy, indicate your tolerance for speed versus accuracy.

Select Fast if you have a high volume of images (the load level on your OCR server will be large), and are concerned about performance. Only large, text-intensive images are sent for extraction; small images and documents that don't contain much text are not extracted at all. This option enhances performance, but may sacrifice accuracy.

Select Accurate if you have a small number of images (the load level on your OCR server will be small). Every textual image in your network is sent to the server for extraction. This affects performance, but provides the most accurate results. If response is inadequate—for example, browsers are timing out on the HTTP channel—change this setting to Fast or Balanced.

Select Balanced (default) for a balance between accuracy and speed.

Under Languages, select the languages that might appear inside your textual images.

Some languages are included with Forcepoint DLP (see Languages included with Forcepoint DLP (no language pack required)). Other languages require a separate language package on your OCR server (see"Installing the Forcepoint DLP Language Pack").

If you select a language that is not included with the product, and you do not have the language pack installed, matches in that language are not detected.

Image analysis can be time consuming. Select fewer languages to optimize performance.

False positives (unintended matches) are more likely to occur when multiple languages are selected. For this reason, exercise caution when selecting the languages to enforce.

Click OK to save your changes and return to the System Modules page.

The page also displays the module type, name, and FQDN, which cannot be changed.
