It's a long time since I've used it, but IIRC the point of FuzzyOCR is that it does fuzzy matching on a dictionary of "bad" words - similar to the way that spelling checkers find the mostly likely suggestions. This gives it a very limited ability to deal with imperfectly read words. Putting garbled OCR text through SA body rules may be more trouble than it's worth.
