User-Defined Dictionaries

Also known as Custom dictionaries, user-defined dictionaries can be used to improve OCR efficiency.

If implemented in your program, end users can create, edit, and select (use) dictionaries that contain unusual terminology, such as:

• Technical or scientific terms
  
  
• Proper names
  
  
• Any other words that are not likely to be found in a standard dictionary

The OCR engine uses the contents of these user-defined dictionaries to increase the chance that such words or terminology will be recognized.

Users should therefore select a dictionary that is specifically designed for the type of image document to be processed by the OCR engine.  Otherwise, recognition accuracy may actually be decreased.

Note: OCR processing is available with Imaging for Windows Professional Edition V1.0, V1.1, and V2.0 only.
