Yes, I haven't seen that particular one, but I did see lie for he in the
last book I scanned. I'll have to check if that one is in the autocorrect
file. It must use some kind of context analyzer, else how can it know
whether die is really not the right word?

If you run autocorrect it will catch the die for the error as well as other common scanos.

Hi there,
Thanks for the offer, but that isn't quite what I was looking for. I thought someone had compiled a list of common 'scannos' (scanner typos) - but this was a long time ago, and I think my mental competence is deteriorating with age :)
I think I'll start compiling my own list - I'm specifically looking for scannos that don't get caught with a spell checker. For example, the book I'm working on had substituted the word 'die' for 'the' in many instances, and I've seen this in other book scans as well. If I had a list of these scannos, I would run through it quickly with a 'find and replace' before doing anything more in-depth.

Hi,
I have made up a file of junk characters that are not on the keyboard. It includes bullet, degree sign, pound sign etc. If this is the list you are referring to, I will be happy to send it to you.
