What this tool does

Select a scanned PDF or supported image and choose the recognition language. OCR runs in a browser worker and the source file is not uploaded to Aura Creatives. The OCR engine and selected language data are downloaded when recognition starts. Results remain editable and can be copied or downloaded as a text file.

Frequently asked questions

Does OCR work on handwriting?

It is designed for printed text. Handwriting, low resolution, rotation and complex layouts can reduce accuracy.

Does the file leave my device?

No. The source file stays in the browser, but the OCR engine and language model must be downloaded when OCR starts.
