How Genius Scan scans
- • Phone scanners photograph the page, straighten and crop it, and save the image into a PDF.
- • Photos carry perspective, uneven light and JPEG compression, and some apps add a hidden OCR text layer.
- • Camera foreshortening is fitted as a horizontal scale on each line, and the paper grain around the word is kept, so the new word sits in the photo like the old one.
Questions people ask
+Can the number get longer?
Yes. The rest of the line moves along, as long as it stays on the page.
+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.
