PDF to OCR

Ran a scanned contract through it and the text came out clean enough to copy straight into a doc, nothing left behind. Love that it actually runs in the browser with no uploads, that part matters for sensitive files.
Handwritten notes on scanned pages would be a huge win. Most of my PDFs are old lecture handouts with a mix of typed and handwritten content, and right now the handwritten parts come back as gibberish. Adding a dedicated handwriting recognition mode, or at least letting users toggle between printed and handwritten models, would make this tool stand out from the other free OCR sites I have tried.
The local browser processing is genuinely impressive — knowing my files never leave my device makes me trust it way more than typical OCR tools. Clean execution.
love that everything runs in the browser, no uploads means the privacy promise actually holds up. clean little tool that does exactly what it says.
