62 VISIONEER STROBE XP 220 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE
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.
