What is OCR?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology converts images of text into actual searchable, selectable, and editable text. This is essential for:
- Scanned Documents - Make old paper documents searchable
- Image-based PDFs - Extract text from screenshot PDFs
- Accessibility - Enable screen readers to read content
- Data Extraction - Copy text from documents
How OCR Works
- The image is preprocessed (contrast, rotation, noise removal)
- Text regions are identified and segmented
- Characters are recognized using pattern matching or neural networks
- Text is overlaid on the original PDF as a searchable layer
Languages Supported (Coming)
Our upcoming OCR tool will support multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and more.
