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
- Add a scanned PDF or a photo of a document.
- Choose the document language (English, Arabic, or Urdu).
- 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.
