OCR setup

Tune page range, languages, DPI, and preprocessing before running local OCR.

Preprocessing

OCR runs locally in your browser worker. Wave 1 exports TXT + JSON (word boxes/confidence), not searchable PDF.

Flow
  • Render selected pages locally in browser.
  • Run OCR worker with selected languages and preprocessing options.
  • Export TXT output plus JSON (word bbox + confidence).
Example

Worked example: scanned invoice PDF

  1. 1 Upload invoice-scan.pdf.
  2. 2 Run OCR on pages 1-10 at 150 DPI with eng,spa,fra,deu.
  3. 3 Download TXT + JSON outputs for downstream parsing.

You get recognized text with confidence metadata per page.

How
  1. Upload one PDF.
  2. Set page range, mode, and language preset (or custom list like eng,spa,fra,deu).
  3. Run OCR and export TXT or JSON output.
Cases
  • Quickly extract text from exported office PDFs.
  • Validate if scanned files contain selectable text.
  • Generate plain text for lightweight auditing.
Avoid
  • Skipping confidence review on low-quality scans.
  • Running high DPI OCR on huge documents without page-range limits.
  • Assuming Wave 1 OCR export is searchable PDF (it exports TXT/JSON).
  • Ignoring low-confidence page warnings before downstream parsing.
