ENGLISH OCR

Best for clear printed text

This version recognizes English. High-resolution pages with straight, well-lit printed text produce the best results. Handwriting, unusual fonts and blurred scans may be less accurate.

DIGITAL PDF

Need selectable text?

If you can already select the words in your PDF, use the Extract Text from PDF tool instead. It is faster and preserves digital text more accurately.

PRIVACY

Your PDF stays on your device

PDF pages are rendered and recognized inside your browser. Technochiya does not upload or store the document or result. The OCR engine and English language model are downloaded from a CDN when needed.
