User Guide

Note:
1. You must give read/write access to all users who access a dictionary if you are
using a folder in which the dictionaries of multiple users are stored.
2. User languages that are shared between multiple users are available as “read
only” files (which do not allow changing any parameter of the user language
that has already been created). Entries may be added or removed from the
user dictionary.
Group Work with Customized Dictionaries
(Languages with Dictionary Support Only)
(Available only in ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Corporate Edition)
Create a batch and set up the necessary scanning and recognition options. By default, the cus
tom dictionaries for predefined main languages (languages with dictionary support) are saved
in the folder where the application is installed (for Windows 2000, the file path is: Documents
and Settings\[user profile]\Application Data\ABBYY\FineReader\7.00\UserDictionaries).
To enable the shared use of custom dictionaries for predefined languages by multiple users,
specify a public folder where all such dictionaries are saved. It can be either a local or a net
work folder. To specify the folder:
● Click Browse on the Check Spelling tab of the Options dialog
(Tools>Options menu). Select the appropriate folder for storage of user dic
tionaries for predefined languages.
Every user can expand these custom dictionaries. The dictionary is locked while a user
adds/removes a word. Changes made by a user are available for all users of the folder. To
update the dictionary, click Add in the Check Spelling dialog or any button in the Select
Dictionary dialog.
Note: If several users share a folder where custom dictionaries are stored, all of them must
have read/write access to this folder.
