I wish it would be possible for the recognition engine to be told to believe in the existence of lists of characters you tell it about. I am irritated when I scan something entirely in English, so do not have another language chosen in the list, but encounter a word that is supposed to have a letter with an accent in it. I get so sick of replacing sixes with e acute! It isn't like that letter never occurs in words that are now English, and I have never seen a e acute where there should have been a 6, so what were they thinking or not thinking when they decided that it's existence should never be admitted? I wish I had a solution for "die" instead of "the" as well. I remember editing one book that was pretty much perfect accept that scanno, so it hardly could have been scanned at the wrong brightness level, and of course most other things could be fixed with search and replace, but that can't be safely replaced without reading everything.
