Common questions and quick fixes
Why does OCR PDF recognize some words incorrectly?
Blur, skewed pages, small print and poor contrast affect recognition. Use a clearer scan and choose the correct text language. Check important words and numbers.
Which OCR language should I select?
Choose the language of the printed text from the form options. This tool offers English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.
Will OCR PDF translate my document?
No. OCR recognizes the words already on the page. It adds searchable text; it does not translate the document into another language.
How do I check whether PDF OCR works?
Open the downloaded PDF and search for a clear word from a page. Try selecting a line of text too. Review matches for recognition errors.
Helpful tip: Straight, sharp scans with clear contrast usually give more reliable OCR text.
