DTWAIN_GetOCRTextInfoFloat returns information concerning a particular character that the OCR engine has produced after processing an image file.  See the nWhichItem table below as to the type of information that can be returned.

The TextInfoHandle is the handle value returned by DTWAIN_GetOCRTextInfoHandle.

The charPos value is the zero-based character position of the text that was returned by DTWAIN_GetOCRText.

The nWhichItem denotes the information that is to be returned to the caller.  The following table lists the valid values for nWhichItem, as well as a description of the value returned.
