Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your scanned PDF document. Our tool analyzes the images inside to interpret characters, returning a searchable, editable text format.
Unlike most OCR software which sends your files to external servers, we load local online OCR packages to run entirely on your own CPU for your privacy.
Currently, our models heavily specialize in English characters, but we plan to deploy diverse language packs for international text scanning soon.
OCR works best with clear, crisp document scans containing highly legible text. Fuzzy, poorly lit photos or handwritten text may result in slightly garbled results.
Unfortunately, while machine-printed text is processed perfectly, cursive handwriting analysis requires different predictive models and isn't officially supported.
Since our software leverages local machine processing, times strictly depend on the hardware of your device instead of the speed of our download servers.
Our core focus is extracting straight textual characters into continuous readable copy, so complex visual layouts and columns might lose their intricate alignments.
Our model consistently approaches 98-99% accuracy on a standard dpi scan, but heavily skewed letters or messy pages drastically hinder performance.
We recommend converting document clips beneath 20MB at a time, otherwise parsing can easily crash a typical PC device environment due to RAM limitations.
Yes! We expose the converted raw text in a preview interface that allows you to easily find and fix typographical errors before saving.
