Scanned documents are just pictures of text. This tool runs a real OCR engine inside your browser — your scan is never uploaded — and recognizes English, Arabic, or Urdu text from a PDF scan or photo, saving the result as an editable Word-compatible document. High Accuracy uses document-grade resolution and retries weak pages with an alternate segmentation pass; Maximum Accuracy adds another thresholded candidate. The first run downloads the selected language model once (a public model file, not your document) and caches it.

How to OCR to Word

  1. Add a scanned PDF or a photo of a document.
  2. Choose the document language (English, Arabic, or Urdu).
  3. Click "Recognize text" and download the editable .docx.

Frequently asked questions

Is my scan uploaded for recognition?

No — the OCR engine runs on your own device; only the public language model is downloaded once and cached.

How accurate is the recognition?

Sharp, straight, well-lit scans of printed text recognize very well; handwriting, skewed photos, and low-resolution images reduce accuracy.

Which languages are supported?

English, Arabic, and Urdu — with correct right-to-left formatting in the Word output for Arabic and Urdu.
