## Dictionary Trainer Error
If you can't train your dictionary, maybe you don't have enough sample files
# Warning
For safety, if you are using compression with dictionary, it's recommended to back up the original file or the dictionary you are using. If either of them gets damaged, you will not be able to decompress the file
