User Dictionaries - ScanSoft OMNIPAGE PRO 14 Manual

68 Proofing and editing
You should proofread and verify texts before doing large-scale editing. If you cut
and paste large blocks of text, the links between text and image may be disturbed.
You can use OmniPage Pro's Text-to-Speech facility to have the recognized text
read aloud as another way of verifying text. You can hear the text letter-by-letter,
word-by-word, line-by-line, sentence-by-sentence or in whole pages. See the
section "Reading text aloud" on page 76.

User dictionaries

The program has built-in dictionaries for many languages. These assist
during recognition and may offer suggestions during proofing. They can
be supplemented by user dictionaries. You can save any number of user
dictionaries, but only one can be loaded at a time. A dictionary called
Custom is the default user dictionary for Microsoft Word.
Starting a user dictionary
Click Add in the OCR Proofreader dialog box with no user dictionary
loaded or open the User Dictionary Files dialog box from the Tools menu
and click New. You will be asked to name the dictionary immediately.
Loading or unloading a user dictionary
Do this from the OCR panel of the Options dialog box or from the User
Dictionary Files dialog box. Select a dictionary file to load it or
unload a user dictionary. You can browse for a file.
Editing or removing a user dictionary
Add words by loading a user dictionary and then clicking Add in the
OCR Proofreader dialog box. You can add and delete words by clicking
Edit in the User Dictionary Files dialog box. While editing a user
dictionary, you can import a word list from a plain text file to add words
to the dictionary quickly. Each word must be on a separate line with no
punctuation at the start or end of the word. The Remove button lets you
remove the selected user dictionary from the list.
To embed a user dictionary in an OmniPage Document, load it and save
to the file type OmniPage Document (Extended). When you load an
OPD with an embedded user dictionary, it appears in the list of user
dictionaries as
[embedded]
. You can edit it and save it to a new name.
