Scanned documents are essentially just flat photographs. Here is how OCR makes your files searchable, editable, and useful again.
Turn massive files of scanned paperwork into fully searchable PDFs so you can find specific keywords and names instantly using 'Ctrl+F'.
Stop retyping physical documents from scratch. Extract the text directly to a .txt file to easily copy, paste, and edit in Word.
Quickly pull raw text and numbers from flat, scanned receipts and invoices to speed up your accounting and data entry workflow.
Convert flat image-based PDFs into standard text formats so screen readers and text-to-speech apps can read the document aloud.
Extract the foreign text from a scanned brochure or manual into a .txt file to easily paste it directly into translation software.
Apply OCR to flat, scanned legal exhibits and signed contracts so lawyers and judges can easily search pages for specific clauses.
A scanned PDF is a photograph of a page, the letters are pixels, not text, which is why you can't search or select them. OCR analyses those pixels, identifies the characters, and turns them into real text. FynePDF then either layers that text invisibly behind your original scan, or hands it to you as a plain file.
Set your crop box on any page and apply it to the whole document. One box handles a 300-page book with consistent margins.
Content outside the crop box is removed from the file, not hidden. It can't be recovered from the download, and the file usually gets smaller.
Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Devanagari, Persian, Greek, Hebrew and more, including scripts that read right to left.

Ctrl+F finds nothing because your PDF is a picture of words, not actual words.
