Questions
How accurate is it?
Clean printed text is typically recognised very well. Handwriting, low light and heavy skew are much weaker. We show a per-page confidence score so you know what to check.
Does the layout change?
No. A searchable PDF keeps the original page image and puts an invisible text layer behind it.
