What is the term for “overlooking words with letters written in reverse”?

Multi tool use
If I recall correctly, there is a term in English which refers to the phenomenon /behavior where people are unable to tell, at a glance or when skimming through an article, a misspelled word because the vowels were spelled in reverse, it's not quite "dyslexic" but I couldn't at all think of that word.
Here's an example:
At a glance, it's kind of difficult to tell "miosturizer" from a whole paragraph of words. It's very possible people would read through it without noticing this spelling error.
Similarly, "auteocism" would be passed off as correct, if one does not sift through an article word by word meticuluosly.
What is this phenomenon called?
