User Dictionary: Adding and Removing Words
If your text contains many special terms, abbreviations, and proper names, adding these terms to
the user dictionary will improve OCR quality. For each added word, ABBYY FineReader generates all
possible word forms to allow the program to reliably recognize it in its various forms (plural, verb,
etc.).
To add a word to the dictionary while checking the spelling:
• Select Tools>Verification… and click the Add button in the Verification dialog box
or
• In the Text window, right–click the word and select the Add to Dictionary command
You can also add and remove words while viewing a user dictionary for a particular language.
1. On the Tools menu, click View Dictionaries…
2. In the User Dictionaries dialog box, select the desired language and click View…
3. In the Dictionary dialog box, type a word and click Add… or select a word and click Delete.
The program will notify you if the desired word is already in the dictionary.
You can import user dictionaries created in previous versions of ABBYY FineReader (versions 8.0,
9.0, and 10 are supported).

2. In the Dictionary dialog box, click the Import… button and select the dictionary file you wish to
