You can also remove items from the corrections file in OpenBook. The
particular tom/torn example stopped coming up when I removed that one. It
was changing tom to torn. After I removed it, torn stopped appearing where
tom was supposed to be.

Here pasted below is a list I compiled some time ago to put in my OCR
corrections file in my copy of OpenBook. Good subject. Please add others if
you think of some. It has helped my reduced scanning accuracy, I think.

Tom and Torn were also common, and not so much now that I added that into the list. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 11:28 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Common scanning typo/errors
And m is often rn, especially when it follows co, as in come, or coming, or communication, etc. com becomes corn. Too often, because it's impossible to change globally and spell-checks won't pickit up, he is be. I can't think of others offhand.

I have never seen a list like that. I thought the site had tips on it but I have nerver seen that list either. I know another comon scanning error is some E's are recognised as C's.
