# UserDictionary

A comma-separated list of dictionaries to use in addition to the standard dictionaries. Specify a comma-separated list of paths. If you use relative paths, specify the paths relative to the directory specified by UserDataDirectory.

You can create your own dictionaries to improve OCR performance when the media that you are analyzing contains proper names or technical terms.

Each dictionary file must meet the following requirements:

- The dictionary must be a text file, in ASCII or UTF-8 encoding.
- Words must be separated by whitespace.
- The first two letters of the file name specify the corresponding language code (for example `FrenchTownNames.txt` would be used with documents written in French). For a list of supported languages with language codes, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide.
