Change a word in a scanned research paper from a phone
Swap one word for another right on the scanned page, in the same printed look. 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 I change several words at once?
Yes, if they are on the same line. Click the first word and Shift+click the last.
+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.
