Document AIWhat is OCR DA?
OCR extracts the text from scanned documents and photos of paper, even if there's no digital text layer in them. This way, a scan of an old invoice or form suddenly becomes searchable and processable. Perfect for unlocking paper archives without retyping everything.

- Upload your scan, photo or scanned PDF.
- Our AI recognises the text in the image, even with handwritten or unclear parts.
- The recognised text is made digital and searchable.
- Use the text directly to search, summarise or process.

Frequently asked questions
Does it also recognise handwritten text?
In many cases, yes. The quality depends on the legibility of the handwriting; printed text almost always works well.
What if my scan is a bit skewed or unclear?
The AI corrects many common scanning problems such as slight skewing and noise, so the text becomes readable anyway.
Can I process large batches of scans in one go?
Yes, you can supply multiple files and have them converted in bulk to searchable text.
