OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads the text inside an image or a scanned PDF and turns it into real, selectable, copyable text. A scanned page or a photo of a document is just a picture — you cannot select or search its words. OCR analyzes the shapes of the letters and reconstructs the actual text, so you can copy it, edit it, or search it.
Doctor PDF runs OCR for Arabic and English (together or separately), handles both images and scanned PDFs, detects right-to-left text automatically, and lets you copy the result or download it as a text file.
The text recognition runs entirely in your browser. Your scanned documents — IDs, contracts, certificates — are never uploaded, so sensitive content stays on your device.
Because nothing is sent to a server, OCR works with no page limits and no daily caps, and your extracted text is never stored anywhere online.
