Questions about this tool
Which languages are supported?
English and Indonesian, or both in the same document.
Does it change how my pages look?
No. The scanned images stay as they are; an invisible text layer is added. Crooked or sideways pages are straightened automatically.
What if part of the PDF already has text?
Pages that already contain text are kept as they are; only scanned pages are processed.
Are my files stored?
No. Files are processed in memory and deleted right after the job.
