How Canon CanoScan scans

  • • A flatbed: pages lie flat under even light, which suits editing well.
  • • Sheet fed and flatbed desktop scanners capture pages at 300 dpi or more under even light.
  • • Many can skip blank pages and add a searchable text layer.
  • • Sharp, evenly lit pages are the best case for redrawing a word invisibly.

Questions people ask

+Can I change names on official records?

No. Only change documents you own or may change. Altering official records such as IDs or certificates is fraud.

+What if a word cannot be changed invisibly?

You get the exact reason, such as a stamp in the way or a font that could not be identified, instead of a smudged page.
