There are two possible answers to this: either it is not possible (and we should not go back and read the text back), or it is possible (and we should read it out to you). The answer to that question is that one of three things will happen: either the text will be destroyed (unless the person who acquired it was a fanatic about keeping text, like me), or the text will escape from the scanner (unless it was scanned from an ordinary hard-copy volume), or the reader will fail to notice, and will assume it is the document's own original. The second point you asked about concerns other readers of scanned documents: in a digital environment, people will all want to look at the scanned parts of their documents, and will do so. One suggestion is to ask the person scanning the document to use the images in some other location on the page, so they can be studied as if they were in a physical book..
