Combine Enhance Scanned File with AI
I have a very large scanned pdf of a document that was typed with an old typewriter. I am transferring it all to InDesign and the quality of the text when I copy and paste from the scanned document is awful which is making me have to retype large chunks.
It would be very powerful to use AI to test the text and make sense of it rather than the current output which is mostly garbage.
And when I use the spell suggester, it comes out with such random suggestions which bear no relation to the actual spelling of the word - no context is taken in to the suggestions. Also, the number of times it suggests covid and brexit are ridiculous.
This whole area of InDesign could be massively improved.
Thank you.
Example:
“ Well I agree about that, he ,.,alk3 vri. th tho ca.””’Oful,
M”a.surecl tread of a ,,a--itber oi a tiger stoJJring the jungle, that ‘a
just what atru.ok me e.bout h:im. “
When the original says:
“Well I agree about that, he walks with the careful, measured tread of a panther or a tiger stalking the jungle, that’s just what struck me about him.”

Sorting out the quality of the OCR function between Acrobat and InDesign would save me days and days of tedious work.
