Recognise the text in a scanned PDF
A scan is a photo: you cannot search a word or copy a paragraph out of it. Text recognition turns that image into real text inside the PDF.

- Pick the scanned PDF you want to convert.

What people use it for
- Find a detail inside a scanned contract.
- Copy a paragraph out of a photographed book.
- File scanned documents so you can actually find them later.
Run text recognition (OCR) over a scanned document and turn it into a PDF you can search and copy from. It reads both Latin and Devanagari script.
