Scan a clear source document
Choose a legible scan resolution and collect the pages in the correct order. The current scanning application saves the captured page images as a PDF.
Add searchable text with a separate OCR step
Use an OCR application that explicitly offers searchable-PDF output to recognize the saved document. Scanner acquisition and text recognition are separate tasks in this release.
Review the recognized result
Search for a known word and compare names, numbers and punctuation with the source. Keep the image PDF as an original reference.
All included application features are 100% free. No registration or activation is required.
