Faded print
- • The ink tone is measured from the existing words, so the new word is just as faint.
- • The new word must still be read back correctly by OCR, or the edit is refused.
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.
