Frequently asked questions
What is OCR?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads text from images. If your PDF is a scan or photo of a document, OCR extracts the text so you can copy and edit it.
What language is supported?
Currently English. Multi-language support is on our roadmap.
How accurate is the OCR?
Accuracy depends on the scan quality. Clean, high-contrast scans at 300 DPI or above typically produce very good results.
How long does it take?
Roughly 2–3 seconds per page. A 10-page document takes around 20–30 seconds.
