OK, I'll try not to give you a "smart-arsey" response.
No. Many other organizations do it (or use "human OCR") in building up
corpora and literary collections. The publishing history of these
documents is almost always available when you access them: in major
projects like Project Gutenberg and LION, you can always trust what you
get.
There is a reading program that's been around forever: you can get more
information at askoxford.com.
