I'm afraid Rank spelling is much better than spell check as it saves you heaps of time when you process the entire file rather than doing it one page at a time. Rank spelling takes all spelling mistakes, and ranks them according to the frequency of occurrence. A misspelled word appearing 50 times in a file get put toward the top of the list above a mispelled word that appears 49 times, which, in turn, appears a word that is misspelled 48 times or less, etc. All other words are listed alphabetically. This allows you to deal with mistakes in bulk. So, for example, if the OCR program decided that it wants to put the word diere instead of the word there, you can tell rank spelling to replace each occurrence wit the word there rather than having to go through every single instance. This saves you a lot of time. This has cut off hours on my scan/clean ups.

I just hear everyone say the first thing they do is rank spelling and I feel like I'm missing out on something really good smile When I spell check something I've scanned, and Omnipage spell checks it for me when I scan (plus I spell check it again with word) I find that the words that are supposed to be together but have a space are usually due to zoning errors in the ocr process. I like to manually draw the zones for ocr because if I let omnipage do it, 90% of the time it does a great job and doesn't ocr junk like the center of the book or my arm as I hold down the spine. But sometimes it does and then it inserts crap so I draw a text zone for it to ocr. But even then sometimes it will have a word like this man ually. And spell check will say ually is not a word, and sure it is, and then I just fix it. But I do that as I scan. I guess I like to check each page as I scan. I need to go back to bed. I woke up at 3 when my husband and son got up so they could go fishing and could not go back to sleep. Now I'm tired! I hope they are catching some good fish up there (up at Tippy Dam in Wellston, not too far from Manistee). It's about a 90 minute drive each way I think so they should be fishing in the dark still, and maybe snow. It was snowing here when they left but it had been raining so our snow probably won't stay. Up there they might have snow. They don't care though; they have waders and waterproof coats and all that crap smile. Santa brought my son $70 in Bass Pro Shops gift cards which he happily spent on fishing crap uh I mean stuff. More than y'all wanted to know I'm sure! I guess I ramble when I'm tired.
