OCR: Turn Scans into Searchable PDF or Editable Word
Make scanned documents and photos searchable, or rebuild them as an editable Word file with the same layout.
Make scanned documents and photos searchable, or rebuild them as an editable Word file with the same layout.
Recognise the text in scans, phone photos and image-only PDFs. Get a searchable PDF that looks exactly like the original, with text you can select, search and copy; or an editable Word file where logos, photos and layout stay in place. Built for real-world scans: tilted pages are straightened, faded text is boosted, and pages with shadows or uneven lighting are cleaned up and read again automatically. Long PDFs are read one page at a time (two at once on capable devices), so they work on phones too. Everything runs on your device; nothing is uploaded. Phone photos of a page lying on a table are found and flattened into a straight scan, two-column pages and side-by-side blocks are read in the right order, and lines the engine skips on a first pass are found and read again. Searchable PDF and Word output work in every supported language, Hindi included.
Use it to edit an old letter you only have on paper, search a scanned contract, or copy numbers out of a photographed bill.

No. Each page keeps its original image, and the recognised words are added as an invisible layer exactly over the words you see.
Yes. Logos, photos, coloured bands and positions stay where they were, and the text is rebuilt as editable Word text in the same size and colour.
Yes. Before reading, DocBrisk straightens pages tilted by up to about 6 degrees and boosts faded text. If a page still reads poorly, it removes shadows and uneven lighting and reads the page again, keeping whichever reading is more confident. The result tells you which pages were fixed.
Yes. Pages are read one at a time and cleared from memory as soon as they are done, so a long document needs memory for a page or two, not the whole file. On devices with enough memory, two pages are read at once to finish sooner.
No. Recognition runs in your browser on your own device. Only the language pack is downloaded, once, and then it works offline.
16 languages including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Arabic and Chinese, plus a Hindi + English option for documents that mix both. Every language gets all three outputs: plain text, a searchable PDF whose text can be copied and searched, and an editable Word file.
It is part of DocBrisk Pro at ₹99 a month. Every free DocBrisk account can use it 3 times before upgrading. 47 other DocBrisk tools are free to use with no signup and no page limits.
No. OCR: Turn Scans into Searchable PDF or Editable Word runs as JavaScript inside your own browser tab. Your file is read from your device into browser memory and the result is saved back as a download, so nothing is transmitted.
