User Languages and Language Groups

In addition to the built-in languages and language groups, you may also create new languages and lan-

guage groups (made up of languages supported by FineReader) and use them for recognition.

You may want to create a new language if you wish:

1. To use a user dictionary.

● For example, when recognizing an English text containing many abbreviations. You

may wish to create an abbreviation dictionary, create a new language and link-up the

dictionary to the language. You could then create a new language group consisting of

English (using the application dictionary) and your new language (containing the

abbreviations dictionary), and use this language group to recognize your texts.

2. To recognize documents of a specialized nature, for example:

● supermarket product-line lists containing only product codes. Product codes are usually

made up of numbers and letters. Consequently, you can create a language consisting

only of the numbers and letters used in the codes to be applied when recognizing

documents of this type.

● documents set in capitals only. Recognition quality is increased if you create a language

in which all lowercase letters are prohibited.

You should create a language group if you use a particular language combination often. To create a new

language or language group open the

Language Editor dialog (Tools menu, Language Editor item).

How To Create a New Language

To create a new recognition language:

1. Select the Language Editor item in the Tools menu.

2. Click the

New button and in the resulting dialog select the Create a Copy of the Language

radio button, then select your preferred source language.

3. The

Simple Language Properties dialog will open.
