	For example, certain OCR engines have advantages over others in specific cases. Transym performs well in most cases. However, it does not do well with certain specialized fonts and print types, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_ink_character_recognition MICR] or handwriting. Another engine may perform better in these cases. Microsoft's ~~[https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/~~ Azure Computer Vision] does better than most OCR engines at recognizing handwriting (but requires a ~~licence~~ key from Microsoft). Google's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software) Tesseract] has the capability to train fonts to target atypical fonts and print types.

	This allows you to perform highly targeted OCR on portions of documents by merging results matched by an extractor on the secondary '''OCR Profile's''' text data with the main OCR text data results. This allows Grooper users to utilize multiple '''OCR Profiles''' using different OCR engines or different '''IP Profiles''' to form a single, more accurate, text flow.
