Frequently Asked Questions
How It Works
This tool uses the OpenDataLoader local offline OCR engine to perform all scanned PDF parsing entirely within your browser — no files are ever uploaded to the cloud. It automatically corrects skewed scans, detects reading order in multi-column documents, and accurately recognizes table and receipt text. It supports exporting to TXT, Word, and searchable PDF formats, and automatically removes watermark, header, and footer interference text.
