My OpenBook does the om to orn sometimes, even though I would have thought that would be fixed in the automatic corrections feature, but perhaps they missed that one.

What program is it that gets om and orn confused?? Mom turns out morn, and
corn turns out com.. I have seen a lot of that in books from the
collection. Smile.

The first book I validated - which I hadn't scanned - had a fellow named
Villam in it, but the guy's scanner turned the name into Villain several
times.  I'm not sure if the autocorrect was trying to fix what it thought
was an error, or if it was an actual scanning error, because it wasn't
consistent either way.
