Extract text from scanned PDFs using OCR
Last updated: 2026-10-30
Recognize text in scanned PDF pages using one of ten bundled document-language models, with English alongside a selected non-English language. Choose text or searchable PDF output. Searchable PDF retains the rendered page plus recognized text; it does not establish accessibility compliance or reconstruct a spreadsheet. First use of a language needs its local engine/model assets. Scan quality, rotation, handwriting and dense tables affect accuracy, so review important characters and values.
