User Languages and Language Groups
In addition to the builtin languages and language groups, you may also create a new language
or a new language group (from languages supported by FineReader) and use it for
recognition.
You may want to create a new language if you need:
1. Connect a user dictionary.
● For example, you might need to recognize an English text that contains abbre
viations. Create an abbreviation dictionary, create a new language and connect
the dictionary to the English language. Next, create a new language group that
consists of the English language (with the system dictionary) and the new lan
guage (with the abbreviations dictionary). Use this language group to recog
nize your texts.
2. Recognize specialized documents, such as:
● Supermarket product lists that contain only product codes. These codes are a
combination of letters and numbers. Create a new language that consists of
only the necessary characters and use it to recognize these documents.
● Documents that are made up of only capitalized text. You may increase the
recognition quality in these documents by creating a language that prohibits
all lowercase letters.
Create a language group for oftenused language combinations. To create a new language or a
language group, open the Language Editor dialog (Tools menu, Language Editor item).
