        People,

        Things work much better using he latest gocr and a greatly
        enlarged JPEG image, tweaked with xv.  I'm almmost to the point
        where I can use aspell -c to correct  misinterpreted text.  The
        gotcha is that the sample jpg file I  have are filled with
        improper non-characters, including "_", '<", ">", along with
punctuation, and random integers. Is there any way to tell aspell to look at (say) S_wiss and guess Swiss, an6yle and guess angle, n:otio:1 and guess motion, and di.5tnnce and guess distance?


You might get somewhere with the bad-spellers suggestion mode setting, which should make it more aggressive about trying to find a match for mangled strings. However, I understand that in this mode it's still looking for soundslike mistrakes, not "9 looks like g" and the like. This mode also turns of checking for typos IIRC, but those checks really won't be helping you anyway since they're looking for fumbled keystrokes, not lookalike chars. Tuning the edit distance may or may not help for those really bad mangles.

Other than that, you should probably ask this question in an aspell support forum for best results.
