How to Create a New Language Group

If you often recognize texts written in a certain language combination, say, English–German, you may create a language group

combining these languages. The created group will be displayed in the language list on the Standard toolbar.

Note: You can specify the recognition languages to be used in the language list on the Standard toolbar. To do this, select the Select

Multiple languages item in the list. The Recognition Language dialog will open. Select the languages you need in the dialog.

To create a recognition language group:

1. Select the Language Editor item in the Tools menu and click the New button. A dialog will open. Select the

Create a new group of languages item in the dialog.

2. The Language Group Properties dialog will open.

Set the following new language group parameters (all parameters are set in the Language Group Properties dialog):

1. Group name.

2. Languages contained in the group.

Note:

1. If you know that your text will not contain certain characters, you may wish to specify these so–called prohibited

characters in the relevant language group's properties. Specifying such characters can increase both recognition

speed and quality. To specify prohibited characters, click the Advanced button in the Language Group

Properties dialog. The Advanced Language Group Properties dialog will open. Specify the set of prohibited

characters in the Prohibited characters line.
