VARAK PDF

FREE VARAK PDF Editor & Scanner

OCR that runs on your device, free.

Turn a scanned PDF into text you can search, copy and even correct, without sending it anywhere.

Recognize Text

Choose Recognize Text (OCR). VARAK adds a searchable, selectable text layer behind the scan, page by page, and tells you how many words became searchable. Lines it is unsure of stay exactly as scanned.

Make Editable

Go one step further: Make Editable replaces the picture of the text with real text in a typeface matched to the scan, so you can tap a word and correct it, or re-flow a paragraph.

What it is good for

Searching inside old scans, copying an address out of a photographed letter, exporting the text as .txt, and preparing a scan for Word export (VARAK PRO).
