Dictionary Object (IDictionary Interface)

This object is designed for working with user dictionaries. User dictionaries are dictionaries that contain word forms of words of a certain language. Each word form in the dictionary has its own weight that defines its priority when there appear several variants for a word during recognition. The weight may have a set of discrete values. The range of values is from 0 to 100. User dictionaries may be connected to the SimpleLanguage object — object representing one simple recognition language.
