Recognize text in scanned pages so you can select, copy, and search your PDF.
A scanned PDF is usually just an image, so its text can't be selected or searched. OCR recognizes the writing inside it, so you can select, copy, and search the PDF just like a regular document.
Besides scanned PDFs, you can upload photos straight from your phone camera (JPG/PNG), and Dely PDF automatically turns them into a searchable PDF.
OCR only adds an invisible text layer over the original image, so the page looks exactly like the scan, but now you can select, copy, and search it.
Add several files or photos and OCR them all in one step, with the option to combine the results into one PDF. Part of Dely PDF Pro.
The entire OCR process runs right in your browser. No file is ever sent to a server, so your personal documents never leave your device.
Turn a stack of scanned office paperwork or old letters into one archive you can search word-for-word, so you can find what you need whenever you need it.
Turn photos straight from your phone into a PDF with copyable text, without retyping anything by hand.
Turn scanned book pages into a PDF with selectable, copyable, searchable text, handy for studying or using as a reference later.
Pull text back out of old reports or contracts that only exist as scans, without retyping them from scratch.
Choose or drag a scanned PDF or a photo from your phone. Everything runs right in your browser.
