How HP OfficeJet 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.
Details
- • Up to 20 scanned pages are recognised at a time.
- • Pages that already have real text are skipped.
Questions people ask
+Does OCR change how the page looks?
No. The text layer is invisible and the scan stays as it is.
+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.
