Fix a typo in a scanned portfolio from an office scanner

A misspelled word on a scan used to mean retyping the whole page. Now you click the word and type the fix. Even office scans give the font match plenty to work with. Very coarse scans can be refused when the redraw would not be faithful.

Scanning with an office scanner

  • • Office multifunction printers scan at 200 to 300 dpi, often in grayscale or colour, and many can add a searchable text layer.
  • • Pages fed through the document feeder can come out slightly skewed.

Questions people ask

+Will the fix match the printed letters?

Yes. The word is redrawn in the font identified from the same line, at the same size and ink tone.

+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.
