Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on scanned documents?
Only if the scan already has a text layer. Image-only scans need OCR to become searchable text, which is on our roadmap.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The text is extracted entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
