FineReader new characters when it performs OCR on your pages.
Pattern training is useful for the following types of texts:
• Texts printed in decorative fonts
• Texts which contain special characters (e.g. mathematical symbols)
• Large documents (more than 100 pages) of poor print quality
You can either use the built–in character patterns or create your own. Select the desired
option under Training.
• User patterns and languages
You can save user patterns and languages to a file and load previously saved user patterns and
languages.
The user pattern and language file you create stores the path to the folder with your user
languages, language groups, dictionaries, and patterns.
To save user patterns and languages:
1. Click the Save to File… button
2. In the Save Options dialog box, enter a name for the file and click Save.
To load user patterns and languages:
3. Click the Load from File… button.
4. In the Load Options dialog box, select the desired *.fbt file and click Open.

Here you can select the fonts to be used when saving recognized text.

2. Select the desired fonts and click OK.

If your document contains barcodes and you wish them to be converted into strings of letters and
digits rather than saved as pictures, select Look for barcodes. This option is cleared by default.
If the complex structure of a paper document is not reproduced
in the electronic document
Before running the document recognition process, ABBYY FineReader conducts an analysis of the
logical structure of the document and detects areas containing text, pictures, tables, and barcodes.
The program then relies on this analysis to identify the areas and the recognition order. This
information helps recreate the formatting of the original document.
By default, ABBYY FineReader is set to automatically analyze the document. However, very complex
formatting may cause incorrect detection of some areas. Correcting only the problem areas is much
faster approach than drawing all of the areas manually.
Layout correction can be performed by using the following tools and commands:
• Manual area adjustment tools on the Image window toolbar.
