Differences in Recognition Accuracy of Text to Be Extracted as a Photo Date

  • Dates with a low level of recognition accuracy

  • Factors other than text that affect recognition accuracy

Factors other than text that affect recognition accuracy

In addition to the date text printed on a photo, recognition accuracy is affected by the following:

  • Photo size

    Recognition accuracy lowers when the size of a photo differs greatly from the following sizes.

    • 89 × 127 mm (3.5 × 5 in.)

    • 102 × 152 mm (4 × 6 in.)

    • 127 × 178 mm (5 × 7 in.)

  • Locale (information of the country and region) of your computer

    The date text may not be recognized due to incompatibility between the date format printed on the photo and your computer locale settings (country and region information).
