Export Calibre Dictionary

[oldbeebooksscott]

Hello, My name is Scott, this is my first post here. My summer hobby is beekeeping and my winter hobby is converting old bee books from PDF's to Epubs.
It's a good time filler.
I run across many old English words that Calibre indicates are spelt incorrectly. I do a quick google search to check spelling and then add them to the Calibre dictionary...all is fine.
Now the problem, I needed to reset Windows to factory reset and you know it I lost my Calibre dictionary. So my question is this, is there a way to export the costume dictionary I have created.
Thank you.
Scott

Not 'export'...
BACKUP (and you should be doing this anywho )
the USER dictionary(ies) reside in the Configuration folder along with all the other User settings (exception is those Per Library, which are embeded in the DB, so BACK THE LIBRARY UP any time you make a setting change that invokes a #field name) and plugins'

C:\Users\<yours>\AppData\Roaming\calibre\dictionar ies

is where both kinds are found: prefs.json is the users words, grouped by dict name.
The others are the Installed Dicts

Hi Scott I'm not be able to answer your question but I would like to ask you if you might share your technique for the PDF 2 EPUB conversion process.

I find it very problematic, especially with scanned PDFs.

Thanks, Max

MaxReader. I move one paragraph at a time and then just correct OCR and spelling errors
