I am currently using Microsoft's MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) to read text in an image in C#. Everything is working fine, except some of the words I want to read are not real English words.

Is there any way to use a custom dictionary when using MODI or add words to the regular English dictionary that it uses?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
