Photographed at an angle

  • • Camera foreshortening is measured as a horizontal scale on each line.
  • • The new word takes the same scale, so it leans and narrows like its neighbours.

How Brother MFC scans

  • • 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.
  • • Even office scans give the font match plenty to work with. Very coarse scans can be refused when the redraw would not be faithful.

Questions people ask

+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.

+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.
