I don't know about single or double letters like that, but I use Open 
Book 9 sold by FreedomScientific.com. It is scanning and OCR software 
combined. There is a feature such that when a word consistently is 
recognized incorrectly in a certain way it can be automatically 
corrected. One goes into the settings of Open Book and types in the 
incorrect way the word is recognized and then one types in the way it 
should be recognized. After this is saved the next time the word is 
recognized incorrectly in that specific way it will be automatically 
corrected so that the OCR then has it spelled right.
