   My scanners didn't have such options (or at least not good ones!) but I am    
   sure that others probably did.

   I wouldn't necessarily call it laziness.  Avoiding typos would be another   
   motivator for such a project.  I can remember spending hours typing in TI   
   Basic programs from magazines or books just to wind up with a typo (or   
   several) that I never could get tracked down.
