guess”, and so on. This option tells the OCR engine to look
through the dictionary to validate its best guess for the letters in
that word; if its best guess is not in the dictionary, it checks for the
second-best guess, and so on.
For example, if the word “house” appears in the original document
but the OCR engine is 75% sure that the “o” is actually an “a”, the
finished document would have the word “hause”. Turning this
option on tells the OCR engine to look at the other letters in the
word, check to see which version of the word is in the dictionary,
and output the correct word “house” in the final document.
The OCR engine does not automatically correct misspelled words
that were present in the original document.
When dictionaries are selected, the terms in those dictionaries are
used to check the spelling. If this is option is not selected, User

User Dictionary—A user dictionary is your personal dictionary
with words that you want the OCR engine to reference for better
accuracy when converting the document into editable text. For
example, if you scan documents with highly technical terms or
acronyms not found in typical dictionaries, you can add them 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 technical
term or name will be correctly spelled in the final document. You
can create multiple user dictionaries. See the section “Creating Your
Own Dictionaries” on page 62.
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 for the 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 words and phrases. The
options are: Dutch Legal, Dutch Medical, English Financial,
