In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with OCR:ed text, how do I edit the content for text for left pane/right-click/Content?
You can see on the second screencast below that in the Content pane to the left, "4/4" has been OCR:ed as "414". So I need to change this to "4/4". But when I right-click on "414" and select "Edit object" I get this message:

The screencast showing the "4/4" wrongly OCR:ed as "414":

Does this mean I have to own Adobe Illustrator to be able to edit this object? Or would it work as well with another application, and if so, which application?

This is down to Adobe not being a true Word Processing replacement. It is really only good for small edits.
However this should work in your case...
If you don't delete 414 but just highlight the '1' and overtype with '/' what happens?

In the area where I can place this small rectangle for editing, the characters displayed are "4/4" (just as it should be). But in the Contents pane to the left, it reads "414".
And the small rectangle for editing, it's too tiny, can't select anything.
Actually, it worked to delete everything then add new text. But the problem then is this text is placed last in the Content pane to the left, which probably means it will be opened in my CAT-tool in disorder (last and not in the right flow of the whole text).

But I saw now I can move this new text that was placed last, will try to move it to the right place.
Yes you should be able to reorder these, although I am not sure if it matters which order they are in

Yes, it worked fine.
