Frequently asked questions
How does OCR for PDF work?
The recognizer reads the scanned image and places an invisible text layer behind it. You see the original scan, but you can select and search the text like in a regular PDF.
Which languages are recognized?
Russian, English, Spanish and Portuguese, including mixed-language documents.
Will the scan quality change?
No — the visible pages stay pixel-identical; only the searchable text layer is added.
