Copy text from a scan in a scanned thesis

A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. 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.
