title: Custom Dictionary for Tesseract
body: <p>I am currently working on a project for android using Tesseract OCR. I was hoping to fine-tune the results given to the user by adding a dictionary. According to <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/FAQ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tesseract OCR wiki</a>, the best way to go about this would be to</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Replace tessdata/eng.user-words with your own word list, in the same
  format - UTF8 text, one word per line.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>However there is no eng.user-words file in the tessdata folder, I assume that if I just make a text file with my dictionary in it, it will never be used...</p>
  <p>Has anybody had a similar experience and knows what to do?</p>
