looking characters for characters recognized with low confidence.

Working with user dictionaries

When reading a text, ABBYY FineReader checks recognized words against its dictionaries. If your

text contains too many specialized terms, abbreviations or proper names, you can improve OCR

quality by adding them to a user dictionary.

Note: User dictionaries may not be available for some of the supported langu ages.

To add a word to the user dictionary, do one of the following:

 On the Tools menu, click Verification… and then click Add to Dictionary in the

Verification dialog box.

 In the Text window, right–click the word you wish to add and then click Add to

Dictionary on the shortcut menu.

Note: When adding a word to the dictionary, make sure that the right language is selected.

Using Styles

When recognizing a text, ABBYY FineReader detects the styles and formatting used in the original

document. These styles and formatting are reproduced in the output document. You can review and

edit the document styles and create new styles to format recognized text in the Text window.

To apply a style to a text fragment:

1. Select the desired text fragment in the Text window.

2. Click Properties on the shortcut menu.

3. Select the desired style from the Style list on the Text Properties pane.
