I now understand that such is perhaps the original design of the plugin. Would you consider making such optional? As I've mostly used FineReader, and I think most do, I do not recall it ever making such decisions. I also prefer to keep any and all terms as they exist in the original; I do not know if I am in the minority though if it were optional, more would have a choice.

Hyphens with a space after that occur with line breaks, one can never know if it the term itself is hyphenated or not, terms could be hyphenated in either case, e.g., "rem- edy", "green- yellow", or something not in a dictionary like "Alisma plantago- aquatica". Such is why I originally asked to use the source EPUB as a dictionary correction. Perhaps such you might still consider.
