Kim - FWIW the calibre editor will ctrl+c copy multiple words from its spellchecker word list.
Today I would paste them into upcoming release of The Sage - especially into the Word List tool, from there I can copy words to the Concordancer, Rhymer etc.
Why ? Character and place name tracking, consistent misspellings - especially in dialogue - across multiple books. All sorts of things.
Curious - the Sigil spell checker seems to ignore 'words' that start with or maybe it's contain digits - is that by design? If yes - good, if not - don't fix it on my account
Maybe OCR is not the only source of misplaced hyphens. I've seen them in a number of purchased books that I'm pretty sure were not scanned. Apart from the misplaced hyphens there are none of the other OCR tell-tales. My guess is that they started life as SHY's and somewhere in the conversion hurdy-gurdy the SHY's were changed to regular hyphens.
