Also, the spell checker can't be relied on to auto-correct with more than only a moderately decent accuracy which means manual correction of each found error.
Also, the error rate for OCR software drops significantly when working from scans of books in poor condition (e.g. foxing, stains, yellowing, ...), printed poorly, and/or printed on poor quality paper.
