Copy text from a scan in scanned meeting minutes from a phone
Make the words on a scan selectable so you can copy them into an email or document. 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
+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.
