ABBYY® FineReader 15 User’s Guide
If the program fails to recognize certain characters
ABBYY FineReader 15 uses data about the document language when recognizing text. The program
may fail to recognize some characters in documents with uncommon elements (e.g. code numbers)
because the document language might not contain these characters. To recognize such documents, you
can create a custom language that has all of the necessary characters. You can also create groups of
several OCR languages and use these groups when recognizing documents.
How to create a user language
1. Open the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box), click the
Languages tab.
2. Click the New... button.
3. In the dialog box that opens, select the Create a new language based on an existing one
option, select the language which you want to use as a base for the new language, and click
OK.
4. The Language Properties dialog box will open. In this dialog box:
a. Type a name for your new language.
b. The language you selected in the New Language or Group dialog box is displayed in the
Source language drop-down list. You can select a different language from this drop-
down list.
c. The Alphabet contains the alphabet of the base language. If you want to edit the
alphabet, click the button.
d. The Dictionary option group contains several options for the dictionary that will be used
by the program when recognizing text and checking the result:
·
None
The language will not have a dictionary.
·
Built-in dictionary
The program's built-in dictionary will be used.
·
User dictionary
Click the Edit... button to specify dictionary terms or import an existing custom
dictionary or a text file with Windows-1252 encoding (terms must be separated by
spaces or other characters that are not in the alphabet).
Words from the user dictionary will not be marked as misspelled when the spelling in
the recognized text is checked. They may be written in all lower-case or all upper-case
letters, or may begin with an upper-case letter.
