[bksvol-discuss] Re: pattern scanos and spell checking

All but the die/the can be made into corrections in K1000. The diem can be put back to rights with a check for " per them". Of course, leave out the quotes.) I hadn't thought of the phrases for switching die to the. Those are great.

die in phrases such as
of
in
with
under
among
and

Usually if you have the as die you also have to fix
diem them
diese these
plus their there and any other words with the in them such as odier for other It takes hours and hours to fix die for the. Usually there are lots of other scanos in the text because the contrast is so poor and the book really needs rejecting.

E,

   I like your idea of doing searches for phrases like "in die" and "with
die". In the past, the only way I knew to fix such errors was to try to
catch them while reading. Thanks for the tip!

The rank spelling feature in Kurzweil is useful when correcting scanos.
Often scano errors fall into patterns. For instance though die is a word
it is often possible to do a global replace of "with die" "of die" "In
die" and so forth. Rank spelling is just a fancy spell checker with great
built in utilities which makes it easier to spot patterns errors.
