I have never, and will never, read every word of my own scans. I do not like to read books on the computer. I do double check every single word that my OCR program highlights as not being in the dictionary and I do page through the finished product and check red and green marked words and phrases (red is a word that Word says is not in the dictionary; green is a phrase that Word says is not grammatically correct). I also do a search for other things, especially if there were things I had to correct a lot during the OCR process, and usually count page numbers as I page through the file. But I will be glad to put in the comments that I have not read every word of the scan just in case anybody chooses not to validate my work on that basis.
