symbol “Ç” but the OCR process cannot represent that character, then every place “Ç” appears, the
OCR process substitutes the missing character symbol. The caret (^) is the default symbol for the
missing character.
Type the character you want to use in the Missing Character box. Try to choose a character that will
not appear in your documents.
Recognition Quality—Drag the slider to the left or right to set the degree of accuracy for the OCR
process. The higher the accuracy, the longer the OCR process requires to complete. For clean, highly-
legible documents, you can set the recognition quality to a lower level to produce results more
quickly.

These options will now apply to the OCR processing when you select any text format as the page

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:
Visioneer
OneTouch
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.
