Sorry to bump this, but it seems the OCR reader still decides on its own whether the text in a portion of an image is vertical or horizontal regardless of the orientation setting. There are cases where I select one area and it reads vertically then I move the selection to another area and it reads horizontally, without me ever changing the setting.
Is the orientation setting supposed to force it to always read in one direction or the other? Is there a way to give precedence to the orientation I set over the detected one?
