How is OCR PDF different from PDF to Text?

PDF to Text reads existing selectable text entirely in your browser. OCR PDF also recognizes scanned pages that do not contain usable embedded text.

Is every page sent for OCR?

No. Pages with usable selectable text are extracted locally and are not sent to OCR.

Does OCR PDF guarantee perfect recognition?

No. Accuracy depends on scan clarity, resolution, language and document layout.

What happens if one page fails?

Processing continues and the result reports pages whose text could not be recognized.
