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.
Thanks again,
Lea

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.
