Which version of tesseract are you using? If v2.x, follow the advise
here:
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_provide_my_own_dictionary?

Otherwise, I think you have to unpack the .traineddata file, copy in
your word list, then repack. Something like this should work (from
your tessdata directory:

combine_tessdata -u eng.
cp /path/to/new/eng.user-words
combine_tessdata eng.

The new eng.traineddata will now include your words.

Hope this helps, and is clear enough.

Dear sir,

With your help I was able to unpack it. But in unpacked files there is no eng.user_words file. Can you please help me to fix it?

Thanks!

Dear sir,
 I unpacked and repacked after adding these words as you said. But still it didn't recognize these words. I added words to both userwords and freqwords files. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
