  • Answer:

    You can use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software on it. Some may have come with the scanner itself. But I have to warn you: OCR is an art, not a science. I can almost guarantee that you will have to fix: 1. Mis-converted fonts. 2. Mis-read characters (i for l, for instance, o, 0 or Q mixups) 3. Mangled layout. Hope that helps.

In your scan program you should have the option to scan the document with OCR, which basically makes the scanned document where you can edit it; however, depending on how advanced/new your scan program and scanner are you may lose your formatting on your paper. But it would probably be easier to reformat the paper rather than to re-type it. Scan your document again and look for the Scan to OCR option.
