Cindy,
Yes, valid but inaccurate words will be ok as far as the automated stats
generator is concerned. I am frankly appalled that a book could be accepted
with 95% accuracy rating. Unless it is loaded with nonstandard
dialect or with foreign words, 95% is hideously unreadable. Consider, if you
will, how unhappy you would be if you had dictation software for writing
documents and it gave you 95% accuracy. Would you find that
acceptable? With today's ocr software, I find it amazing that anything would
be submitted that wasn't 99.something percent accurate, not counting names and
non-English or nonstandard words.
Mary
