FAQ
OCR PDFs — frequently asked questions
100% accuracy?
No OCR is perfect — proofread critical numbers.
Languages?
Depends on engine packs — English works best on clean scans.
Replace original?
Download searchable copy; keep archival scan separately.
Free?
Standard OCR jobs are free.
Speed?
Large scans take time — split first if needed.
How is browser OCR different from mobile scan apps?
Mobile scan apps capture new pages. DSNOOPDOC OCRs existing PDFs at scale in the browser without a separate capture step.
