What is the difference between online and offline Scan Text and Batch Scan?

You might be wondering about the difference between the online and offline modes for Scan Text and Batch Scan.

The online version still offers higher accuracy and an additional feature called Layout Detection which recognizes columns and headers in text. This option can be turned on within the context menu of Scan Text and Batch Scan if you are reading text that has more than one column or headings. Enabling this feature is not yet possible with Scan Text and Batch Scan in offline mode.
