Spotted a misspelling, a wrong date or a misplaced comma on a scanned page? Box the line, tap the wrong word and type the right one. Recovoly rewrites it in the original typeface and ink, and leaves the rest of the page exactly as scanned - no OCR, no reformatting, no reprint.

The page is printed, scanned and laid out perfectly - except for one word. Retyping it, running it through OCR or reprinting the batch is a lot of work for a single letter.
The usual fixes
With Recovoly
Three typos made it into print. Fix them one by one and watch each corrected word slot into the line in the same serif - the pull-quote at the bottom already had the number right.

A Record Year for Northfield
From the Director's desk
We are proud to anounce that the museum welcomed
more visitors this year than at any time in its
ninety-year history. The new gallery opened its
doors on 14 Febuary 2026 with a weekend of free
family events, talks and guided tours.
Over the twelve months we recorded a total of
1,2840 visitors, an increase of 31 per cent on
last year. Our volunteers gave more than 4,000
hours of their time, and school visits doubled.
Thank you to every member, donor and volunteer
who made this possible. We look forward to
welcoming you again this summer.
- Dr. Helen Marsh, Director

A correction is only finished when it disappears into the page. The AI studies the words on either side of your typo and rewrites the new one to match them exactly - down to the slightly fuzzy edge printed ink gets in a scan.
Typeface
Serif, sans, slab or typewriter - copied from the words around it.
Size & weight
Body text, bold headings and italic captions keep their weight.
Spacing
Letter and word spacing reset so the line reads naturally.
Ink & print texture
The soft edges, grain and tone of printed ink in a scan.
How editors and office teams use the studio on documents that are already printed.
Proofread the scan as you normally would and note each typo with its correction.
Box each line, tap the wrong word and type the fix - up to 12 per page, page by page.
Restore once per page, check each fix in compare view, and save the document as one PDF.
The annual report or club newsletter that went to print with a typo on page 3.
Scanned leaflets and handouts where only the printed copy survives.
Instruction sheets and programmes you need to re-issue without retyping.
A spelling slip in a scanned chapter or appendix, caught after binding.
Old typed letters, memos and manuscripts with a struck-over or misspelled word.
Worksheets, menus and notices that only exist as paper now.
Five steps per line - the reason the rest of your page never changes.
The words in your box are read and shown as chips - and the type style is noted.
You tap the wrong word or number. The rest of the line is locked in place.
Only that word is replaced, in the same typeface, size, weight and ink.
The line is aligned and colour-matched to the untouched paper around it.
Blended through a feathered mask of your box. Outside it, the scan is original.
Read for you
The words in each box are read automatically - tap Fix if one was misread.

Small habits that make every correction invisible.
The words either side of the typo show the AI the exact type style to copy.
Fix two typos on two lines as two areas - each gets its own reading and correction.
Leave the rest of the line unselected so it stays exactly as printed.
If a word was read incorrectly, tap Fix and correct it before you restore.
Note every typo on the page, then mark them all and restore once - up to 12 per page.
Check each fix at 200% in compare view, especially numbers and names.
Fix typos in reports, newsletters, brochures, manuals and drafts you are entitled to correct. Don't use Recovoly to change names, dates, amounts or details on certificates, contracts, invoices, records or anything presented as an original. That breaks our terms of use and may be illegal.
Log in, open the AI Restore Studio and upload the scan or PDF. Draw a box round the line with the typo and choose the Text area type - the studio reads the line for you. Tap the misspelled word, type the correct spelling and press Restore. The word is rewritten in the same font, size and ink as the rest of the line.
No. Nothing is converted to editable text and nothing is retyped. You only type the corrected word; the rest of the page stays the scanned image it was, with its original layout, fonts and print texture.
Yes. Mark up to 12 lines per page, each with its own correction. When you press Restore they are fixed one after another in a single run. For a long document, work page by page in the PDF and save it back as one file.
Yes. The AI copies the typeface, weight, size, letter spacing and ink tone of the words around the typo, including the slightly soft edges of print in a scan. Serif and sans body text, headings, italics and typewriter type all work.
Misspelled words, missing or extra letters, swapped letters, doubled words, wrong capitals, misplaced commas and decimal points in numbers, transposed digits, wrong dates and misspelled names - anything where you know what the line should say.
A letter or two longer is fine - the line is reset so spacing looks natural. Mark the whole line, not just the word, so there is room to adjust. Much longer corrections may need the line to wrap differently, so check the result in compare view.
No - you point to them. Recovoly doesn't proofread; you decide what's wrong and what it should say, then the studio rewrites exactly that. It reads the existing line so you never retype it, and if it misreads a word you can tap Fix to correct the reading.
Yes. Typewriter type, uneven inking and the slight misalignment of old machines are matched, so a corrected word sits naturally among the original characters.
JPG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP and more, and PDF. Export the corrected page at full resolution as PNG, JPG or PDF, or save it to your Recovoly assets.
Each marked line costs 10 points from your Recovoly balance, so fixing three typos costs 30 points. Reading the text is free. See the pricing page for plans.
It is the same studio feature, focused on proofreading: catching and correcting small errors - a letter, a digit, a date - across a page or a whole PDF. Edit text in scanned documents covers changing wording more generally.
Only on your own material where you are entitled to correct it - your reports, newsletters, brochures and drafts. Don't use Recovoly to change names, dates, amounts or other details on certificates, contracts, invoices, records or any document you will present to someone else as an original. That breaks our terms of use and may be illegal.
