AI OCR. It works out the rest.

how it works

From a photo to the file you needed

1. 01Drop a photo or a scanned PDFOne photo, or a PDF of up to 20 pages. The PDF is split into page images in your browser; each page is read with its layout — headings, paragraphs, tables, pictures.
2. 02It works out what you needAn AI scores what this page is most likely for. A table leads to a spreadsheet, a letter to a Word file, a scanned PDF to a searchable PDF. When two outcomes that need different work are close, it shows you both and you pick; plain text versus Word it just makes, the other one a click away.
3. 03It makes itPlain text, Word and Excel come from the same read, so switching between them is instant. A translation or answers to the questions need another pass, so those ask before running.
4. 04It checks its own workEvery result goes through checks that never change your text, and each note comes with a one-click fix.

ai ocr vs a converter

What is AI OCR, and how is it different from a converter?

A converter does one thing: you choose “image to Word”, it gives you a Word file. Choosing is your job, and if you chose wrong you start again.

This AI OCR tool reads the page first and decides from what is on it. A photo of a receipt, a scanned contract and a screenshot of a spreadsheet are different jobs, and the text on them says which. It only goes ahead on its own when one outcome clearly leads; if the text it read looks damaged, it does not guess at all.

outputs

What a page can become

Plain text

Every word on the page, ready to paste. Tables come out as tab-separated rows.

Word document (.docx)

Headings, paragraphs, tables and pictures in the order of the page.

Spreadsheet (.xlsx)

Each table on the page as its own sheet. Offered only when the page has a table.

Searchable PDF

For a scanned PDF: the same pages, looking exactly like the scan, with an invisible text layer you can search and copy.

Fields

Dates, totals and numbers from an invoice or receipt, each with how sure it is.

Translation

The photo with its text replaced in another language, or the translation as text.

Answers

Each question on a worksheet or quiz answered, each answer with how sure it is.

Notes

Tidy study notes made from a page of a book or a handout.

scanned pdf

Make a scanned PDF searchable

A scanned PDF is pictures of pages: you cannot search it, select a line or copy a number out of it. Drop it here and the searchable PDF is one of the first things offered.

The pages keep their exact look — the scan itself is what you see. Behind each block of text sits an invisible layer with the words that were read, so search, select and copy work in any PDF reader. The file is built in your browser when you click download.

asking

When it asks instead of guessing

It asks when two outcomes that need different work score close, when the read looks damaged, when making something costs another pass (a translation, answers), and when a translation needs a language it cannot tell from your browser. Answers are buttons, never typing.

It also stops itself: two “none of these” in a row, or too many questions, and it shows every option at once. Going back and forth between two results stops the suggestions — both stay a click away.

checks

What it checks after making something

Cut-off tables

A table that ends part-way through, so rows may be missing.

Looping lines

The same line repeated over and over — a sign the page was not really read.

Lines that look misread

Words mixing two alphabets, replacement characters, lines of symbol noise.

Untranslated lines

Lines left in the original language.

Unsure answers

Answers marked low-confidence, or questions left unanswered.

known weak spots

Where it still gets things wrong

A PDF is judged from its first page

If page one is a cover and the rest are tables, pick the spreadsheet yourself — it is one click.

Translation and answers go one page at a time

For a PDF of several pages, only plain text, Word, Excel and the searchable PDF are offered.

Search finds the block, not the exact word

In the searchable PDF the hidden text sits per block of the page, so a hit highlights the paragraph.

Right-to-left text

Arabic or Hebrew reads correctly letter by letter, but how a reader orders several words varies between PDF apps.

A second AI review is not on yet

The checks above read the result, not your photo. A second model comparing the two is planned.
