Hi, Everyone,

I am reading T is for Tresspass by Sue Grafton; I downloaded the book from 
bookshare.

In the book, many letter t and letter f are misrecognized as the letter l.  
This confusion occurred about fifty times.

So, wait reads as wail, state as slate finger as linger to as lo.  Those are 
the most common errors, but all of these errors resulted in recognizable words. 
 

Thus a spellcheck of the book or its review by the Bookshare tools when ranking 
the validated copy at upload would not catch these errors.  Thus, these 
misrecognitions fell between the cracks.

The only way that these errors would be caught would be if a validator read the 
book word for word.

I do not think the problem is so great that a resubmit is necessary.  I am 
simply making an observation about a problem that would be difficult to solve 
and I am just puzzling over that dilemma.
