I scanned my school term paper for revisement. The problem is I cannot edit my paper via scan. Can someone tell me if this is possible? and if so how do I go about editing my term papers via scan? Thanx in advance. Curious George
Hi, Once the document is scanned you have
to import the document into whatever apps
you wish to use, be it ms word or other..what scanning software are you using ?
Good Morning, When you scan a document and save it, it saves as a picture. It becomes one dimensional or flat so to speak. You can't edit the text, because it's not a separate layer like in a word document. You'll have to retype it in Word etc to edit the text. Good Luck...

It makes them think you're up to something...
Your scanned paper is an image file not a text file. You could re-scan the paper using OCR software which a lot of scanners support. The resultant text file is editable. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him to fish and his wife will never forgive you.

The answer from Richard59 is the correct.
SimpleOCR is good for free. It works really good on text like you see in a book where the page contains just words in paragraphs. If your document has columns, graphics or tables then you need an OCR application that costs in the range of $600 US.
