Text recognition that
actually reads

A scan is just a picture until OCR reads it. Upload your file and the text becomes searchable, selectable, and ready to copy.

1

Search and copy any scan

OCR turns the flat image of your scan into real text. Find any word with Ctrl+F, select it, and copy it straight into another document.

2

Your layout stays intact

The recognized text is placed invisibly over the original page, so your document looks exactly the same — it just becomes searchable.

3

Built for scans and photos

Whether the file came from a scanner, a phone camera, or a fax, OCR is built to handle common issues like skewed pages and uneven lighting.
