proofing procedures
I've been looking for the best way to proof an ocr document, and it's been recommended to eventually save the doc as a text file and run it through the Project Gutenberg procedures - gutcheck, etc. This is supposed to eliminate most of the very common errors in ocr, such as substituting 'hut' for 'but', 'be for 'he', etc.

I haven't been doing this, but wondered if it's worthwhile to use gutcheck. Do most of you working on ebooks use this procedure, or do you use very careful reading of document for proofing?
