Frequently Asked Questions

Will this turn my scanned PDF into a searchable document?+

Yes, OCR adds an invisible, selectable text layer beneath the scanned image so you can search, copy, and select text as if it were a native PDF.

How accurate is the OCR on scanned documents?+

Accuracy depends on scan quality | clean, high-resolution scans of printed text perform best; heavily skewed or low-resolution scans may need Deskew PDF first.

Is my document uploaded to run OCR?+

No, recognition runs entirely on-device using WebAssembly and ONNX | your document never leaves your browser.
