Adobe, "Correct Recognized Text" is terrible and OCR needs work

Why can't you run OCR text through a spell check? Why can't I just let my computer do something instead of being prompted to fix every. single. misspelled. word.

What is swmnmoncd supposed to mean?

Acrobat is on its 40th version or something. It's like 30 years old. When will it be doing spell check for OCR text? How many dollars per month will that feature cost?! Am I really supposed to fix 3,000 questionable OCR words per document? I didn't scan this in, but it is in a reasonable 144 to 150 dpi. Not great. Not terrible.

Acrobat Pro 2026 64-bit

Here is the document (shown) I wanted to re-run through a better OCR and fix, but I can't easily do it. (I have many more).
