When you scan a document to a PDF, it often creates a picture of your text. Read&Write cannot read these pictures of text. It needs actual text.
To make the document readable, you need to change the pictures of words into real words. Read&Write has a built-in tool for this. This tool helps your PDF become readable text. Then, you can use Read&Write's PDF Reader to hear your document aloud.
To scan a file:-
1. Click the Scan button on the Read&Write toolbar.
2. Click the Scan from file option.
3. Drag and drop, or browse to select the file that you want to scan and select the type of file you’d like to create.
4. Click the Scan button.
5. Windows Explorer will open with the Save As option. Choose a name and location for the file.
When scanning has completed, the new file can be opened and read using the PDF Reader option in Read&Write.
