OCR PDF

Scanned pages are only pictures of words. Read them, and the PDF can be searched, its text selected and copied, and read aloud, while every page looks exactly as it did.

Search, select, copy

The words go in as an invisible layer exactly over the words on each page, so a search finds them where they are and a selection picks them up. Nothing you can see changes.

Read on this device

Each page is drawn, its lines found and straightened, and read by a small neural network trained for this site. Pages that already have text are left alone.
