15. An editing apparatus comprising: a memory; a processing device coupled to the memory and configured to: determine a first distance between a first element and a second element of a first pair of adjacent elements of a plurality of words using original positions of corresponding words in a physical work; determine a second distance between a third element and a fourth element of a second pair of adjacent elements of the plurality of words using the original positions of corresponding words in the physical work; create a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising elements of the plurality of words in positions that match original positions of corresponding words in the physical work, wherein the first pair of adjacent elements and the second pair of adjacent elements are ordered from smallest distance between adjacent elements to largest distance between adjacent elements; receive a user selection of one or more words in the GUI; mark the elements of the selected words using optical character recognition (OCR) boundary information created from the physical work to identify a broken word in the selected words; and correct the boundary information for the elements of the identified broken word to form a correct word.
