Left should display the original document, and the Right half should show all the actual OCRed text.
Did you select Document Layout: "Formatted Text". In the dropdown, you can also select DOCX:

(Personally, I keep everything on "Exact Copy" until I'm ready to export the document. This makes the Left/Right halves match much more closely, making it easier to make corrections.)

I explained some of this back in 2014: Post #5 in "Problems converting K2PDF Opt files to EPUB".
As long as your headings are marked fine (<h1> <h2> <h3> ...), you regenerate that from Sigil. |
One trick that you can use, to make your life a bit less horrible, is to take the exported Word file, in the original format/layout and then turn right around and export it to PDF--and then run a COMPARE, for the original PDF versus the new. Now...that only works worth a damn
if you already have a text layer in the original pdf, but if you do, this can save you a crapload of braindamage. Take the compare, make the edits.
Take new Word file, cleaned-up, export to PDF, lather-rinse-repeat.
Yes, it's tedious and all that, but it's a shedload less tedious than trying to find all the OCR errors yourself manually. Does it find everything? Oh, hells, no, but it's an option that most people overlook.
Offered FWIW.
