Before you start
- This is for scanned PDFs and photos of text. If the PDF already has selectable text, you do not need OCR.
- Quality depends on the scan: good light, straight text and 200 to 300 dpi give the best results.
- It does not read handwriting and can mix up numbers and symbols. Check the text before you use it.
- It reads up to 30 pages at a time. Each page takes a few seconds and your device does all the work.
- Languages: Catalan, Spanish and English.
