Recognize printed English or Hindi text from scanned pages and add a searchable text layer. Processing stays on your device. Pages are rendered as images; interactive forms, links and original accessibility structure are not preserved. Recognition accuracy depends on scan quality.
When to use this tool
Make a scanned PDF searchable so its printed text can be found or extracted.
Get started in three steps
- Choose a clear scanned PDF with up to 20 pages. Split a longer file first and correct sideways pages before recognition.
- Select English, Hindi or both to match the printed text, then run OCR PDF. Keep the tab open while the browser processes the pages.
- Download the searchable PDF and test search or text selection. Compare names, dates and amounts with the scan before extracting or converting the text.
A practical example
For a Hindi notice with English dates and reference numbers, choose both languages. After OCR, search for a known word and compare the extracted reference number with the printed page. Recognition can confuse similar letters and digits.

Before you download
Can OCR reliably read handwriting or poor scans?
Recognition depends on image quality and printed-text clarity. Do not assume handwriting or blurred text is accurate. Check important values against the page image.
How do I convert a Hindi scanned PDF to Word?
First run OCR with Hindi or both languages and download the searchable PDF. Then use PDF to Word on that result. Word conversion extracts recognized text into an editable document; it does not reconstruct the original fonts, images or complex tables. Check Hindi spelling and reading order against the scan.
Why does OCR miss text or take a long time?
Blur, shadows, skew and small print reduce recognition quality. Use a clearer, upright scan and process fewer pages on devices with limited memory. The first run loads the OCR engine and language files. Handwriting is not reliable; never treat recognized numbers or names as verified facts.
Where is my document processed?
Document processing runs in your browser. This tool does not upload your document for processing. Optional analytics measures visits and tool events only after you allow it; it does not receive your document content or filenames. Read the privacy policy.
Next step: PDF to Text.
