Recognition: Advanced Topics
Using Advanced Topics in Recognition
10-31
Do not use the global functions
AddWordToDictionary
and
RemoveWordFromDictionary
to make changes to the review dictionary;
instead, use the appropriate review dictionary methods.
The dictionaries themselves are stored as entries in the system soup. This section
describes how to manipulate these dictionaries programmatically. All of the
functions and methods named in this section are described completely in "User
Dictionary Functions and Methods" beginning on page 10-54.
Retrieving the Review Dictionary
10
To manipulate the contents of the user dictionary or expand dictionary, you send
messages to the
reviewDict
object, which resides in the root view.
To obtain a reference to the
reviewDict
object, you can use code similar to the
following example.
local reviewDict := GetRoot().reviewDict;
Note
Future versions of the system are not guaranteed to have the
ReviewDict
slot. You must verify that the returned value is
non-
nil
before using it.
You usually do not need to load the review dictionary into RAM yourself--the
system does so automatically when it is reset and most flags that enable text
recognition include the user dictionary automatically in the set of dictionaries they
enable. You usually do not need to load the auto-add or expand dictionaries explicitly,
either--the user dictionary consults these additional dictionaries automatically.
However, the
LoadUserDictionary
,
LoadExpandDictionary
, and
LoadAutoAddDictionary
functions are provided for your convenience.
For general information about the user dictionary, expand dictionary and auto-add
dictionary, see "System Dictionaries" beginning on page 9-11.
Displaying Review Dictionary Browsers
10
You can send the
Open
message to the
reviewDict
object to display the Personal
Word List slip. If words have been added to the auto-add dictionary, this function
displays the Recently Written Words slip automatically as well.
To display the Recently Written Words slip alone, send the
Open
message to
the
autoAdd
object residing in the system's root view, as shown in the
following example.
local auto := GetRoot().autoAdd:Open();
if auto then auto:Open();
