EDITORIAL NOTE

Make scanned content searchable

Use it for scanned PDFs whose words cannot be selected or searched. Treat the OCR layer as an interpretation that should be checked against the scan.

Explore the ocr & text directory

Run OCR and inspect the text layer

  1. Choose a scanned PDF with clear page images.
  2. Run OCR and wait for each page to be analyzed.
  3. Search the returned PDF and spot-check names, numbers, and unusual type before relying on the text.

Check recognition before relying on it

  • Input: PDF. Output: OCR PDF.
  • Recognition quality depends on resolution, contrast, language, skew, and handwriting.
  • OCR can make a scan searchable, but it does not prove that every recognized character is correct.
