You need an OCR (optical character recognition) software application. It
looks at an image and exports any text it can recognize to a file that you
can edit. Your scanner may have come bundled with one, although you may not
have installed it from the scanner's cd.

How do I edit a document that I have scanned and saved in Word document
format? When I open it and try to edit it, I get four black dots on each
corner, like a giant text box.
Do I need a separate program to do this? I also tried to copy and paste from
my scanner but still cannot edit it.
