viewing/editing hidden text layer for OCR

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro, scanning documents, and trying to make basic corrections to the OCR as it comes in. ClearScan says that it creates text, and indeed I have been able to add text to the hidden layer by placing my cursor on the image and typing... however, I'm not actually able to see the text as I type! The cursor doesn't move. I can only see my text if I double-click "Show Preview" under "Hidden Text" in the "Examine Document" sidebar, and in that case, I cannot edit it.

 

Surely there is a way to see and edit the hidden text layer? If not, why has Adobe not provided this functionality in Acrobat Pro?
