ABBYY FineReader - Proof reading tips?

I have recently started to rip some of my books.

Using ABBYY is fantastic and it recognises most of the text it scans. My main gripe though is that for some words there is no dictionary suggestion so I am unable to do a 'replace all'. EG litdle instead of little.

Also, the number of unrecognised characters makes proof reading a slow process.

Is there anything I can do to speed things up at all?
I would love to be able to do a search/replace on common scanning errors. I would love to have the software recognise a few more of the characters without having to highlight them (it always seems to get them right - putting a comma where it should, just highlights it as unrecognised!)

Are there any tips that people can give to help me speed up my proof reading stage?

Much appreciated
