Use vision AI to extract text from scanned PDFs and photographed pages, preserving layout — including foreign-language scripts, where ordinary OCR usually fails.
AI Scan to Text is a Pro feature — included in PDFwarp Pro at $9 USD/month along with every other tool and unlimited conversions.
Traditional OCR struggles with low-quality scans, unusual fonts, and complex layouts. PDFwarp uses Anthropic's vision AI to read scanned PDFs the way humans do — delivering accurate text extraction even from challenging documents.
For scans longer than 10 pages, use Split PDF to chunk them first, run each chunk through OCR, then reassemble the output with Merge PDF. Tedious but reliable for long documents.
Printed text achieves 98%+ accuracy. Handwriting varies wildly — neat block print works, cursive and rushed handwriting often don't. If the output looks garbled, the source was the problem.
PDFwarp uses vision AI that reads the way a human does — interpreting shapes in context. That makes it more forgiving of low-res scans, faded ink, and unusual fonts than classical pixel-based OCR.
Optical Character Recognition — the process of reading text from scanned images or photos and converting it to editable/searchable text.
PDFwarp uses Anthropic's vision AI which achieves high accuracy on clean scans. Handwriting and very low quality scans may have lower accuracy.
Up to 10 pages per file. For longer documents, split the PDF first then process each part.
