2. By default, the newly created user language group will be saved in the batch folder. In the case of ABBYY
FineReader Corporate Edition, you can specify the destination folder. For more information on group work with
user languages and dictionaries, see "Group work with the same user languages and user dictionaries".
Checking and Editing Text
Once recognition is over, you will see the recognized text displayed in the Text window. The Tex t window is ABBYY FineReader's
built–in editor, used to check recognition results and edit any recognized text.
The ABBYY FineReader text editor has two distinctive features:
1. A built–in spelling check system (see the list of languages with spell check support under "Supported Languages").
2. A convenient visual aid: the source image of the text line being edited is displayed in the Zoom window.
The built–in spelling checker features:
1. Tools for finding uncertain words (words containing uncertain characters).
2. Tools for finding misspelt words.
3. Tools for adding unknown words to the ABBYY FineReader dictionary. Adding words to the dictionary improves
recognition quality.
Checking Text in ABBYY FineReader
Uncertainly recognized characters and words not found in dictionary are highlighted in different colors. By default, light blue is used
for uncertain characters and pink for words not found in the dictionary. To change the colors used:
● Select the Uncertain Character (or Not in Dictionary word) item followed by the color of your choice in the
Color item on the View tab (Tools>Options menu) in the Appearance group.
To check recognition results:
1. Click the 3–Check Spelling button on the WizardBar toolbar (or select the Check Spelling item in the To ols
menu).
The spelling checker looks for uncertain words, words not found in dictionaries and misspelled
words. To check spelling, click this button or press F7.
2. The Check Spelling dialog will open.
3. There are three windows in the Check Spelling dialog. The top window is similar to the ABBYY FineReader
Zoom window and displays the original image of the word. The middle window displays the word itself, and the
line above displays the name of the error type. The Suggestions window at the bottom provides you with
replacement suggestions (if any exist). Note that suggestions are based on the dictionary selected in the
Dictionary language drop–down list; any language may be chosen from this list.
Note: You can enlarge the Check Spelling dialog to make it easier to check and edit text. Simply click the dialog
border; the mouse pointer will become a double–headed arrow. Drag the border to make the dialog larger or
smaller.
