There are several common reader errors to look for.
I took a book that someone else had digitized, converted it to a PDF and then to a text file. Then I just started proof-reading it, using a little search-and-replace as an aid. I had to come up with a trick to help distinguish lower case l's from the numeral 1 and the letter O from zeroes.

But, as you know, it's virtually impossible to catch all your mistakes with just one proof-reading.
