What ULTIMA© Can Not Scan

Consistent with all reading machines, the ULTIMA© cannot read handwritten or hand-printed material.

If there is a signature on a typewritten letter, ULTIMA© reads the letter but not the signature. If the signature is written over other printed words, for example, the closing phrase “Sincerely yours”, the letters touched by the signature will not read correctly.

ULTIMA© may have trouble reading some printed forms because a box often surrounds the text on a form. ULTIMA© sometimes ignores text that is too close to vertical or horizontal lines or words surrounded by a box.
