In an OCR context, though, it would be handy to have a "lookslike"
instead of a "soundslike". I asked about this a couple of years ago
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-user/2002-07/msg00002.html),
but I don't have the C smarts to try the solutions that Kevin suggested
then (modifying the weights in TypoEditDistanceWeightsin
util/typo_editdist.hh). It sounds like Lars has the data to attempt this
kind of tuning; if anyone tackles this, I hope they'll announce it here!
