Recognised text — check and correct it first
OCR is not perfect. Read through the text below and fix any mistakes before you download the Word file.
How it works
- Digital pages: if a page already has real text inside it, that text is taken straight out with its positions and font sizes, so headings, paragraphs, lists and tables are rebuilt in the Word file.
- Scanned pages: if a page is only a picture of writing, it is read with OCR (Tesseract.js) in your browser, and the word positions are used to rebuild lines, paragraphs, headings and spacing.
- You correct it: the text appears in the box above. Fix mistakes, then download the Word file — each PDF page starts a new Word page.
Frequently asked questions
Will my file be uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is read, rendered and recognised in your own browser. Nothing is sent to any server by this tool.
Why is some text wrong?
OCR reads pictures of letters, so a blurry scan, small print, a tilted page or handwriting will produce mistakes. Clean, straight, printed pages at good resolution give the best results.
Does it keep the layout, tables or pictures?
It keeps the document's structure: headings, paragraphs, lists, simple tables, centred or right-aligned lines, and page breaks. It does not keep pictures, and it is not a pixel-perfect copy — complex layouts may shift, and a table with merged or unusual columns may come out as aligned text instead.
What languages does it read?
English only in this version.
Is there a page limit?
Yes, 20 pages per file in this version, so a long scan does not freeze a phone browser.
