4. In the Pattern Editor dialog box, click the New... button.
5. In the Create Pattern dialog box, specify a name for the new pattern and click OK.
6. Click OK in the Pattern Editor dialog box and then click OK in the Options dialog box.
7. Click the button in the toolbar at the top of the Image pane.
If the program encounters a character it does not recognize, the Pattern Training dialog will open
and display this character.
8. Teach the program to read new characters and ligatures.
A ligature is a combination of two or three characters that are "glued together" (for example, fi, fl, ffi,
etc.) and are difficult for the program to separate. In fact, better results can be obtained by treating
them as single compound characters.
Words printed in bold or italic type or words in superscript/subscript may be retained in the
recognized text by selecting the corresponding options under Effects.
To go back to a previously trained character, click the Back button. The frame will jump to its
previous location and the latest trained "character image - keyboard character" pairing will be
removed from the pattern. The Back button navigates between the characters of one word and will
not navigate between words.
Important!
· You can only train ABBYY FineReader 14 to read the characters included in the alphabet of the
OCR language. To train the program to read characters that cannot be entered from the keyboard,
use a combination of two characters to denote these non-existent characters or copy the desired
character from the Insert Character dialog box (click to open this dialog box).
