How to Create a New Language
To create a new recognition language:
1. Select the Language Editor item in the Tools menu.
2. Click on New, select the Create a Copy of the Language radio button. Then
select the appropriate source language.
3. The Simple Language Properties dialog will open.
Set the following language parameters for the new language in the Simple
Language Properties dialog:
1. The new language name.
2. The basic alphabet that should be used by the new language. This parameter is
set in the Alphabet field. If necessary, edit the alphabet by clicking
the button.
3. The dictionary that ABBYY FineReader should use for recognition and spelling
checking. Choose one of the following:
● None (no dictionary to be used).
● Built–in (the dictionary supplied with FineReader)
● User dictionary
You can add words to the ABBYY FineReader dictionary; use an existing user
dictionary; or use a text file in Windows (ANSI) or Unicode encoding (the
only requirement is that words be separated by spaces or other nonalphabet
ic characters). To do this, click on Edit Dictionary.
