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.

What people change in a recipe

  • • Ingredients
  • • Steps
  • • Notes and tips

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.
