[bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: amusing scanno

Thanks for the information.  that is encredibly dumb!  And Freedom Scientific 
employees wonder why they get such a derisive laugh out of me when they offer 
me a "competitive upgrade" to Open Book whenever I get another JAWS SMA. :-)

  Hey Sarah et al,
      Actually, Openbook has that problem. It has a bad correction from com to 
corn. Unfortunately, it auto corrects before joining hyphinated words that span 
two lines. So, you'll often see cornmented or cornplicated. That's because it 
was written in print as

  com-
  mented

  HTH,
  Jake

    You ask, "What program is it that gets om and orn confused?"

    The answer is that Any scanning software can cause that.  It is often a 
brightness setting problem, but odd fonts can cause it, and occasionally it 
just happens.  If it happens a lot, though, it is obviously a problem caused by 
the scanner not setting up their software very well, or having very very old 
software.
