Title: Editing Images of Text.

Abstract: This article describes a text editor for scanned document images, which illustrates an intermediate point between the bitmap editing and format conversion paradigms. The notion of image-based document processing exemplified by this text editor meshes well with the growing popularity of fax as a means of transmitting documents. A major reason for the popularity of fax is that any document image can be transmitted, regardless of formatting or content type, whereas it can be argued that only raw text can be reliably sent between electronic mail users. Experience with this text editor shows that a surprising range of text editing operations can be implemented without character recognition or sophisticated image analysis. This observation, combined with the emergence of high-speed telecommunication networks supporting facsimile transmission, suggests that appearance-based-document processing could provide a natural and smoothly evolving path from paper-based work flows toward the ubiquitous use and interchange of electronic documents.
