OCR solutions on word boxes: PDF to text, table extraction, redaction

Text is rarely the goal. The goal is an archive you can search, a table in a spreadsheet, a name that no longer shows. Every solution here starts from the same result: the text of each page, a box around every word and a confidence, so you know where each word sits and which ones to check. With fast reading (scan-ctc), the same page gives the same result next year. Pick the job that is yours.

PDF to text: OCR for scanned and digital PDFs

You learn in one test whether your PDF already carries text, and what to do in each case.

Image to text: OCR for photos and screenshots

A photo, screenshot or scan becomes text with a confidence for every word, so you check only the doubtful ones.

Zonal OCR: read one region of a page

You cut an invoice number or a total out of the result by its box, with no need to crop the image first.

Zonal OCR →

Document splitting, sorting and comparison for scan stacks

Split a scan stack into documents

You find the first page of every document in one scanner run, cut the stack there and sort the parts by what they say.

Split and sort →

Compare two scanned documents

You compare two scans word by word, because a fast reading pipeline reads the same page the same way every time.

Comparison →

Redact, translate and chat with scanned documents

Redact scanned documents

You place a black bar exactly where a word sits, and know the status of every page.

Redaction →

Chat with scans: LLM on OCR, forms and translation

You chat with a scanned PDF, fill a form from it or translate it block by block, and every answer points to its place on the page.

Chat, forms, translation →

Custom OCR pipeline for pages that are not typical

Custom OCR pipeline

For invoices, forms or old registers, a named, versioned pipeline is built around your documents and measured on your sample.

Your own pipeline →
