Creating Your Own Dictionaries

You can create multiple dictionaries for your personal use. For example, you might have different
dictionaries for separate work projects, especially if each project uses different acronyms and
terminology.
To create a personal dictionary:
1. Open any word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, WordPad, or Notepad.
2. Create a new document in the word processing program.
3. Type each word you want in your new dictionary, followed by a carriage return. Make sure to spell
the words correctly as they will be used for spellchecking.
Here is an example of what the text file might look like:
Xerox
One Touch
OmniPage
wysiwyg
jpeg
bmp
sPDF
nPDF
Note: The file does not have to include every word you want in the dictionary. You will be able to
edit the list later. In fact, the file does not have to contain any text at all, and you could add the
words using the editing options. However, if the list of words is long, it's usually faster to type
them in the word processing program. Note also that the words do not need to be alphabetized.
4. Save the document in the .txt format and give the file the name that you want for the dictionary.
For example, give it the name USERDIC1.
5. Now open the OCR Options window.
6. On the OCR Options window, click the button next to the menu arrow.
7. The User Dictionary Files window opens and shows the available dictionaries.
MyDictionary is an example of a user dictionary.
