What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition turns pictures of text into real text characters under the hood—so Ctrl+F works.
What you can do
- Search long scanned contracts for clauses
- Copy snippets into email without retyping
- Improve accessibility for screen readers
How to run OCR
- Open PDF to OCR and upload your scan.
- Choose language if prompted, then process.
- Download the searchable PDF.
Example: OCR a 30-page scanned lease so “termination” can be found instantly.
Pro tip: Higher scan resolution (300 DPI) upstream yields better OCR accuracy.
