Interesting, the text on those scans is selectable, can anyone share how this is done is it a custom font? It does not seem so as the same letter appears to be rendered differently showing printing/scan artifacts. Maybe some styling?

One way to do it is you OCR the text and then print the text on top in a transparent font.

Could it be this MacOS feature you are seeing? https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/interact-with-text-in-a-picture-ibrw20183ad7/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/interact-with-text-in...

  On that note, the Preview app on MacOS does it automatically. I recently screenshotted my terminal to show a colleague and then noticed I could also copy text from that screenshot. Really cool and really helpful.

  Can also do it in Firefox on Windows.
