Questions About Extract Text (OCR)
Does the OCR text extraction require an active Wi-Fi or data connection?
No. The OCR vision model is pre-packaged inside the ScanOrbit app. Text recognition operates completely offline, even in airplane mode.
Can I extract text from handwriting?
The OCR engine is heavily optimized for printed documents, books, receipts, and signs. Neat handwriting can also be detected, but printed typography provides the highest accuracy.
Can I create a searchable PDF where I can search text with Ctrl+F?
Yes. With our Searchable PDF tool (`ocr-searchable`), the extracted text is layered behind the original scan, enabling full text search and copy-paste in Adobe Acrobat or any PDF reader.
