Hi, Roger, I think it may be possible to delete a word from the Jaws
dictionary. I haven't done that myself, but have added stuff with what I
call creative spellings to insure the pronunciation I'd prefer. I'm
wondering if your scanning software has a search feature. If you know
what that scanno is, perhaps you can find it in your dictionary. It
would be horrid if you couldn't remove a word from the dictionary if it
shouldn't be there. I believe Kurzweil might give one that ability. It
seems logical to me that Open Book would operate in the same fashion. If
not, somebody should talk to the engineers who made this up. I'm
thinking Debby Franson or some other fellow Open Book user can help you
out. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Altering Open Book Dictionary
I am using Open Book 6.0. As I scan a book I regularly do a spell check.
Over time I have added an occasional word to the dictionary and then
later
thought better of it. Just now I did something even worse. The spell
checker
caught a word that I could not place, so I tried to hit the button for
reading the sentence in which it occurs. Instead, I accidentally hit the
button to add the word to the dictionary. It turns out that the word was
a
scanno. It was two words that should have been seperated by a dash. From
now
on if my spell checker runs across that particular scanno it will assume
that it is the correct word and ignore it. That mistake does not belong
in
my Open Book dictionary. Does anyone know how to delete mistakes like
that
from the dictionary short of reinstalling the entire software?
