	As separate operations, the user can choose to enable all five operations, choose to use only one, or a combination. Synthesis is enabled on '''[[OCR Profile]]s''', using the '''''Synthesis''''' property. This property is enabled by default on OCR Profiles (and can be disabled if you so choose). However, each Synthesis operation needs to be configured independently in order to function.

	The general idea behind each of these operations is to increase the accuracy of OCR results by narrowing the OCR Engine's "field of vision". In general, the less the OCR Engine has to look at, the better the results will be. Rather than expecting the OCR Engine to get highly specific character accuracy by looking at the whole image, each operation breaks up the image up in some way, allowing the OCR Engine to only focus on a portion of it. The accuracy for that portion is then increased and the results are "synthesized" into a final, more accurate, result.

	Font Pitch Detection attempts to determine if a font is a fixed or variable pitch font based on the width of a sequence of characters on a line. If you have three or more characters in a row and they're all the same width, Grooper will assume it's a fixed pitch font.
