How it works

How It Works

01

Select Your Scanned PDF

Select the scanned PDF you want to apply OCR to, or drag & drop it into the interface. The document opens instantly for preview.

02

Pick Language and Run Recognition

Pick the document's language (Turkish, English, etc.) — or combine several. Choose to process all pages or just the ones you need, then start recognition.

03

Download Your Searchable PDF

The recognized text is layered onto the original document. Choose searchable PDF, text-only PDF, or .txt format and download the result instantly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages does OCR support?
Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, and more than 30 other languages are supported, and you can combine multiple languages in a single scan.
How accurate is the OCR result?
Clean, well-printed text reaches up to 99% accuracy. Handwriting and low-quality scans can vary, which is why each page shows its own confidence score so you can spot pages that need a manual check.
Is the original page layout preserved after OCR?
Yes. The OCR layer is added invisibly on top of the original image. Page layout, fonts, and positioning remain exactly as they were — only the searchability changes.
What's the difference between searchable PDF, text PDF, and .txt output?
Searchable PDF keeps the original scanned image and adds invisible text on top so you can search and select. Text PDF generates a clean new document built only from the recognized text. The .txt option exports just the plain text with no formatting at all.
Why does the file stay on my device instead of being uploaded?
The OCR engine runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. This means your potentially sensitive scanned documents — contracts, IDs, invoices — never leave your computer, giving you full privacy by design.
