OCR removing certain symbols

asked on March 27, 2014

 So i'm using a OCR withing my quick fields session in order to then scan the document for the first phone number it finds. 

 

However it seems that the OCR will replace the "-" symbols and they won't be in the text.

So if i have a party of the page that has the following:

 

MOBILE: 555-321-4444

 

The OCR will come out with "MOBILE: 555321444"

 

If i do a ZONE OCR on that area of the page it will come out "MOBILE: 555-321-4444" most of the time... having problems with numbers coming out as different numbers (8's become 3's and 5 become 6's) though that is most likely a scan quality thing (tried fixing this with going to 600 DPI but still happened at times)

 

Main question is there a way to make the OCR pick up the "-"'s in the phone numbers and not just drop then.

Are you using the speed or accuracy setting in OCR?
