Why you need multilingual OCR for PDFs
Many PDFs are actually scanned images. Without OCR, you cannot search, copy, or reuse the content inside them.
If your documents contain multiple languages, such as English and Korean or Japanese and English, traditional OCR tools often struggle or require complex manual setup.
This tool lets you quickly convert scanned, multilingual PDFs into searchable or editable formats, making your documents far more useful and accessible.
