Proofreading OCR results

After a page is recognized, the recognition results appear in the Text
Editor. Proofreading starts automatically if that was requested in the
Proofing panel of the Options dialog box. You can start proofing
manually any time. Work as follows:
1.
Click the Proofread OCR tool in the Standard toolbar, or
choose Proofread OCR... in the Tools menu.
2.
Proofing starts from the current page, but skips text already proofed.
If a suspected error is detected, the OCR Proofreader dialog box
colors the suspect word in its context, adds a yellow highlight to any
suspect characters and provides a picture of how the word originally
looked in the image. The explanation says 'Suspect word' or 'Non-
dictionary word'.
3.
If the recognized word is correct, click Ignore or Ignore All to move
to the next suspect word. Click Add to add it to the current user
dictionary and move to the next suspect word.
4.
If the recognized word is not correct, modify the word in the Edit
panel or select a dictionary suggestion. Click Change or Change All
