OCR PDF
Turn a scanned PDF into editable text without retyping. Upload your file, run the OCR, and each page is read and combined into one text box you can copy or download as a .txt file. Best results come from clean, straight scans with good contrast.
Honest note: The accuracy of scanned or handwritten text depends on the page quality — a clean, straight, high-resolution scan gives a better result; blurry scans or handwriting may have mistakes. Languages: English + Urdu attempted (if Urdu is not available, it falls back to English).

How to use
- Click the box above or drag and drop your scanned PDF into it.
- Click Run OCR & Extract Text — each page will be rendered and read, and the progress bar will show the page-by-page status.
- When the text is complete, check it, then save it with Copy Text or Download .txt.
- A PDF with more pages will take more time — each page is read separately.
Tips
- Clean scans give far better accuracy — straight pages and good contrast matter most.
- Printed text reads well; handwriting is not recognized reliably.
- Proofread the extracted text before using it in anything official.
- Large PDFs take longer because every page is read separately — be patient.
