Using Custom Dictionaries

A custom dictionary may be defined and used to improve the accuracy of recognizing unique or unusual words that appear in your document set.  For example your documents may contain business specific or medical terms not found in language dictionaries.

To create a custom dictionary:

  1. Select the Custom Dictionary Browse button. The Open dialog box will be displayed.  A sample custom dictionary will be created in the folder <current Job>\User Dictionary. The custom dictionary will be named “custom.yyyyMMdd.sud.

  2. If desired, enter a different file name. The file name must have the extension sud.

  3. Click Open.

  4. Navigate to the custom dictionary file just created and open the file with any text editor.  The text editor must be capable of saving the file with UNICODE encoding.

  5. Enter the desired words or phrases as shown in the file, placing a single item on each line. For example:

[Literal]

Count = 3

Item0 = Hello

Item1 = World

Item2 = 345

Be sure that the Count value is set equal to the number of items you entered.

  1. Save the file using UNICODE encoding.

If you want to share a custom dictionary among several jobs, you can place the custom dictionary *.sud file in any common folder. For example: …\KCS Pro\Job Setup\User Dictionary.  Make sure that you have selected this custom dictionary in each job that needs to use the dictionary
