Runs Tesseract OCR entirely in your browser. Your original pages keep their existing content and resolution — only an invisible layer of recognised words is added, so the file stays close to its original size. Pages that already contain text are left untouched. The first run downloads the language model (10–25MB) which is cached afterwards. Recognition quality depends on scan quality, and the text layer is machine-read, so expect occasional misreads. Only Latin-script languages can be written into the text layer.
