Fix a typo in a scanned syllabus from a phone
A misspelled word on a scan used to mean retyping the whole page. Now you click the word and type the fix. 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.

- • Photos carry perspective, uneven light and JPEG compression, and some apps add a hidden OCR text layer.

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.
