Physical misreading (as opposed to interpretational misreading) is an unnoticed substitution in silent reading. Especially for legally important documents or instruction manuals, this can lead to serious consequences. We present a prototype of an automatic highlighter targeting words which can most easily be misread in a given text using a dynamic orthographic neighbour concept. We propose measures of fit of a misread token based on Natural Language Processing and detect a list of short most easily misread tokens in the English language. We design a highlighting scheme for avoidance of misreading.
