Copy text from a scan in a scanned cover letter
A cover letter is mostly the same from one application to the next. The parts that must change, like the date, the hiring manager, the company and the paragraph about the role, can be edited straight in the PDF. Make the words on a scan selectable so you can copy them into an email or document.

Questions people ask
+How accurate is it?
It depends on the scan. Straight, sharp, well lit pages at 300 dpi read best.
+Do I need to convert the scan to Word first?
No. MythosPDF edits the scanned page itself. There is no conversion, so the page keeps its look.
