Here is what I do when I know that my Newt will
regularly misinterpret my letter structure.
Just create an expansion of the misinterpreted word to
expand to the correct word. This happen mostly with
the word "that" which gets recognized as "tnat" or
"t4at" all i have to do is put in an expansion and it
automatically gives the correct word (I also have
expansions for commonly mispelled words as well...)
using this method, I get pretty near perfect
recognition!
