Make a scanned PDF searchable

Text recognition runs inside this browser tab, on a photograph or on a scanned PDF. The words go back over the original invisibly, so the page looks the same but can be searched and copied. Every file is opened, changed and saved by your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nothing is stored, and no account is needed.

• Reads photographs, exported scans and scanned PDFs
• Correct the transcript before you save it
• Saves a searchable PDF that looks exactly like the scan
• Or export the recognised words as a plain .txt file
