Jill, I'm a little late in replying, but a T for an R for sighted people look
nothing alike. However what you ask is a common problem for me--I can never
tell the difference when there is a 1 for an I if I am just reading on the
screen quickly. Those are scannos I never catch and have to look for by using
the find option in word. In some fonts they look similar but in some fonts they
look identical.

I am reading a New York Times scanned book and the most common scanning
errors are the scanner mistaking a T for an R. How would a sighted scanner
even be able to identify this problem since they are not listening to the
book or reading it on a braille display? There must be a simple answer to
this that just hasn't occurred to me. Jill
