Abstract
A method for automatic skewed position correction in acquisition of a text original in the form of digital scan results to be used for further processing. Before their further processing, the scan results are subjected to a skewed position identification in a first step and are subjected to an electronic rotation in a second step. The angle of the skewed position is identified according to a prescribed optimization method by generating a sequence of systematically selected search angles and directional criteria allocated to these search angles, and employing the angle for the electronic rotation. An interval nesting is preferably employed as the optimization method.
