ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Corporate Edition System Administrator’s Guide

For several users to work with the user languages and their attached dictionaries, each of them will have to load the batch settings

from the previously saved *.fbt file when creating a new batch. To do this:

● Click the Load Options... button on the General tab of the Options dialog (Tools>Options). In the Load

Options dialog select the folder and select the necessary *.fbt file. The previously saved batch settings including

path to user languages and their dictionaries will be set. Thus, all users will have the same path to user languages

and their dictionaries.

Using these user languages for recognition you can edit their dictionaries. Changes made by one user are available for all other users of

the same folder. User languages created in this folder will be available for all users who load this batch template. You may see the list of

available user languages and their properties in the Language Editor dialog in the User–defined languages group.

The dictionary is locked during the time a user adds/removes a word to/from it. The dictionary is updated when a user clicks the Add

button in the Check Spelling dialog or any button in the Select Dictionary dialog.

Note:

1. If you use a folder in which several dictionaries of several users are stored, all the users using these dictionaries

must have read–write access to this folder.

2. When a user language is used by several users, it available as "read–only", i.e. you won't be able to change the

parameters of an already created user language. However, you will be able to add/remove entries in the user

dictionary of this language.

Group Work with Custom Dictionaries for Languages with Dictionary

Support

Create a batch and set up the necessary scanning and recognition options. By default the custom dictionaries for predefined main

languages (languages with dictionary support) are saved in the folder where the application was installed (for Windows 2000 –

%userprofile%\Application Data\ABBYY\FineReader\8.00\UserDictionaries).

In order to enable the use of the same custom dictionaries for predefined languages by several users, specify a public folder as a folder

where all such dictionaries are saved. It can be either a local or a network folder. To specify the folder:

● Click the Browse button on the Check Spelling tab of the Options dialog (Tools>Options menu). Select the

folder in which to store the user dictionaries for predefined languages.

Every user can extend these custom dictionaries. The dictionary is locked during the time a user adds/removes a word to/from it.

Changes made by a user are available for all other users of the same folder. The dictionary is updated when a user clicks the Add

button in the Check Spelling dialog or any button in the Select Dictionary dialog.

Note: If several users use a folder in which custom dictionaries are stored, all the users using these dictionaries must have read–write

access to this folder.
