OCR and PDF Text Tools

Try selecting a word in the source PDF. If text is already selectable, extraction may be sufficient. If the page is only a scan or photograph, recognition is a separate step with its own accuracy limits.

A TXT download, a structured JSON report and a searchable PDF solve different needs. Use the output appropriate to your next task rather than running recognition on every document by default.

Check names, numbers, punctuation and reading order against the original. Poor contrast, skew, handwriting and dense columns can affect recognition. Scan-cleanup tools can change the visible image; retain the source for comparison.
