How to Fix Garbled Text in AI-Generated Images

You have generated a beautiful AI image — perfect lighting, great composition, exactly the style you wanted. But the text on the sign, book cover, or storefront says "COFEE SHPO" instead of "COFFEE SHOP." Sound familiar?

Why AI Struggles With Text

Most image generation models (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion) are trained to generate visual patterns, not language. They understand what letters look like but not what they spell. This leads to common issues:

• Misspelled words ("RESTRANT" instead of "RESTAURANT")
• Repeated or missing letters
• Nonsensical character combinations
• Mixed-up letter order
• Inconsistent fonts within the same word

The Fix: ImageTextEdit

ImageTextEdit uses a different AI approach — instead of generating an entire image from scratch, it selectively regenerates just the text region while preserving everything else. This means:

1. Upload your AI-generated image
2. Select the garbled text area
3. Type the correct text
4. The AI regenerates just that region with properly spelled text

Because ImageTextEdit works with an existing image context, it preserves the art style, lighting, and composition of your original generation.

Tips for Fixing AI Text

• Select generously. Include a bit of the surrounding area in your selection so the AI has context to blend.
• Match the style. If the original text was supposed to be neon, handwritten, or embossed, mention that in your style notes.
• One word at a time. For multiple text elements, fix them one at a time for best results.
• Use the highest resolution. If your AI generator offers upscaling, upscale first, then fix the text.

Common Use Cases

• Fixing store signs in AI-generated street scenes
• Correcting book titles on AI-generated book covers
• Adding proper labels to AI-generated product mockups
• Fixing text on AI-generated posters and advertisements
