Best practices

  • - Use clear, high-contrast scans; sharper input means more accurate text.
  • - Pick the language that matches the document for the best recognition.
  • - For tables, the Excel export splits columns on wide gaps — review and adjust as needed.

Limitations

  • - Accuracy depends on scan quality, handwriting is not reliably supported.
  • - Very large or many-page files take longer because OCR runs in the browser.
  • - Layout is simplified; complex multi-column pages may need cleanup.

Practical workflows

Digitize a scanned document

Problem
A scanned page or photo of a document needs to become editable text.
What to check

Expected output
You get editable text you can paste or edit in any word processor.

Make a PDF searchable

Problem
A scanned PDF has no selectable text and cannot be searched.
What to check
Upload the PDF, run OCR, and download the searchable PDF output.
Expected output
The original pages now carry an invisible text layer you can search and copy.
