For my part, I use them to generate search&replacement lists.
In Denmark, we used to print books and papers in blackletter ("gothic") fonts up to 1915-1920 - my little niche of the danish book-market is reissuing some of those old texts in a form more readable to a modern reader. You can teach Finereader a lot, but not all - some of the letters are just to much like each other. However, there's usually some kind of system in the Finereader madness, and I can do mass replacements using such lists - prior to actually proofreading - with tools as wReplace and TransTools' Multiple Replace. It sometimes can improve the readability of the text immensely …
As far as I remember, the original author of the Linguist-extension for Libreoffice made it to generate lists of words not recognised by the danish spellchecker (of which he was one of the original creators).
