Checking Text in ABBYY FineReader

Uncertainly recognized characters and words not found in dictionary are highlighted in different colors.

By default, light blue is used for uncertain characters and pink for words not found in the dictionary. To

change the colors used:

● Select the Uncertain Character (or Not in Dictionary word) item followed by the color

of your choice in the

Color item on the View tab (Tools>Options menu) in the

Appearance group.

To check recognition results:

1. Click the 3-Check Spelling button on the WizardBar toolbar (or select the Check Spelling

item in the Tools menu).

2. The

Check Spelling dialog will open.

3. There are three windows in the

Check Spelling dialog. The top window is similar to the

FineReader

Zoom window and displays the original image of the word. The middle window

Suggestions

window at the bottom provides you with replacement suggestions (if any exist). Note that

suggestions are based on the dictionary selected in the

Note: You can enlarge the Check Spelling dialog to make it easier to check and edit text. Simply click

the dialog border; the mouse pointer will become a double-headed arrow. Drag the border to make the

dialog larger or smaller.

removed will not be replaced with images.
