Xerox ® DocuMate® 4760User’s Guide121• User Dictionary—a user dictionary is your personal dictionary with words that you want the OCR engineto reference for better accuracy when converting the document into editable text. For example, if youscan documents with highly technical terms or acronyms not found in typical dictionaries, you can addthem to your personal dictionary. You can also add names that you expect to be in the documents too.This way, as the OCR process recognizes each letter or symbol, there is a higher chance that the technicalterm or name will be correctly spelled in the final document. You can create multiple user dictionaries. Seethe section Creating Your Own Dictionaries on page 121.Click the menu arrow and select a user dictionary from the list.If you select [none] as the user dictionary, the text will be validated using the terms in the dictionaries forthe selected languages, as well as any professional dictionaries if they are selected.The label [current] is next to the currently-select user dictionary.• Professional Dictionaries—these are legal and medical dictionaries containing highly specialized wordsand phrases. The options are: Dutch Legal, Dutch Medical, English Financial, English Legal, EnglishMedical, French Legal, French Medical, German Legal, and German Medical. Select the appropriatedictionary for the OCR engine to use to validate the scanned text.• Reject Character—this is the character that the OCR process inserts for an unrecognizable textcharacter. For example, if the OCR process cannot recognize the J in REJECT, and ~ is the reject character,the word would appear as RE~ECT in your document. The ~ is the default reject character.Type the character you want to use in the Reject Character box. Try to choose a character that will notappear in your documents.• Missing Character—this is the character that the OCR process inserts for a missing text character. Amissing text character is one that the OCR process recognizes, but cannot represent because thatcharacter is not available for the selected language. For example, if the document contains the textsymbol “Ç” but the OCR process cannot represent that character, then every place “Ç” appears, the OCRprocess substitutes the missing character symbol. The caret (^) is the default symbol for the missingcharacter.Type the character you want to use in the Missing Character box. Try to choose a character that will notappear in your documents.• Recognition Quality—drag the slider to the left or right to set the degree of accuracy for the OCRprocess. 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.2. Click OK or Apply.These options will now apply to the OCR processing when you select any text format as the page format.Creating Your Own DictionariesYou can create multiple dictionaries for your personal use.
