How to recognise text in a scanned PDF

A scan is a picture: you can’t search or copy its text. We recognise the text and add it as an invisible layer over the pages. The document looks exactly the same, but search and selection work.

Kazakh (including Ә, Ғ, Қ, Ң, Ө, Ұ, Ү, Һ, І), Russian and English are supported, also mixed on one page. Up to 100 pages at a time.

FAQ

Will the document look different?

No. Pages are not recompressed or redrawn — only an invisible text layer is added.

How accurate is it?

Very accurate for clean scans at 300 DPI or more. Handwriting, stamps and very blurry photos are recognised worse.

Is it safe to upload documents?

Files are sent over an encrypted connection and are deleted automatically 2 hours after upload.
