Scannos
From DPCanadaWiki
To be created/developped and updated A scanno is any error made in the OCR process, such as the word "table" being recognized as the non-word "tahte". The name was inspired by "typo", for typographical error.
See also stealth scanno, and the Proofing Advice page, which contains links to lists of common scannos in various languages.
(Yes, it's not really fair to "blame" the scanner for an error made by the OCR software, but "OCRo" just didn't "catch on" the same way "scanno" did.)
