Copy text from a scan in a scanned user manual
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Make the words on a scan selectable so you can copy them into an email or document.
How to do it
- 1.Open OCR PDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download it and copy the text in any PDF reader.
What people change in a user manual
- • Version and date on the cover
- • Step instructions
- • Menu and button names
- • Support contact details
- • Screenshots
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.
