Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR for PDF?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) extracts text from scanned documents or images within a PDF. The result is a searchable PDF with a hidden text layer, plus plain text you can copy and edit.
How accurate is the OCR?
Accuracy depends on the quality of your scan. High-resolution, clean documents often reach near-perfect recognition. Low-quality scans, handwritten text, or unusual fonts may have lower accuracy.
What languages are supported?
The OCR engine supports English and most European languages that use the Latin alphabet. Documents with mixed languages or non-Latin scripts may have reduced accuracy.
