FAQ
When should I use OCR?
Use OCR when a PDF does not contain selectable text or the extracted text is broken.
Will OCR be perfect?
OCR quality depends on scan clarity, language, and page quality. Clean scans work best.
Can I export OCR text to Word?
Yes. The OCR result can be exported as a Word-compatible document.
Does OCR take longer than normal text extraction?
Yes. OCR renders and reads each page, so it is slower than text-layer extraction.
