NOTE: If you select the Also use built-in patterns option under the Use training to recognize new characters and ligatures, ABBYY will use its built-in patterns along with the user pattern you created which will lessen the amount of time you will have to spend on training. Here is a screenshot of the OCR Options Tab: Click OK in the Create Pattern dialog box then the Pattern Editor dialog box and then click OK in the Options dialog box to go back to the OCR Editor.In the Pattern Editor dialog box select the NEW button to name your user pattern.Under the Use of patterns and training in OCR Editor section, choose the Use training to recognize new characters and ligatures option.Click Tools > Options and click on the OCR tab.

To access options for training, navigate from the topmost main menu. Note: "Pattern training is not supported for Asian languages" as per the ABBY website. A user pattern is used when there are parts of the text that are unclear, fonts different from ABBYY's defaults, or special characters. In training mode, a user pattern is created that can be used when performing OCR on the entire text.
