SING USER LEXICONS
During recognition, Readiris is assisted by linguistic databases to
recognize text correctly. These linguistic databases are standard
lexicons and are available for every supported language.
As powerful as these standard lexicons may be, the recognition
accuracy can still be boosted using customized user lexicons. By
means of user lexicons, Readiris can recognize technical, scientific,
legal and company-specific terminology it would otherwise have
difficulty with.
To create and use a user lexicon:
On the Settings menu, point to User Lexicon.
Click Edit to open the User Lexicon Editor.
You can also access the User Lexicon Editor in the Readiris
installation folder.
On the File menu click New to open a new lexicon.
Insert the words you want Readiris to recognize and click the
Add button.
You can also copy-paste text segments from other files and import
and edit existing text files.
Tip: importing company documents or word lists may be the fastest
way to create a user lexicon containing company-specific
terminology.
The terms you enter are sorted alphabetically.
