Arabic OCR

Turn a scan or a photo of an Arabic page into text you can copy and edit.

We process your file on our server, then delete it after 6 hours

You get the page as a text file, in the order the page is in, ready to paste. Photographs and scans both work, up to 50 MB and 50 pages per file, and the credit cost appears before the run and is charged only if it succeeds.

How to use it

  1. 1Upload the pageUpload a scanned PDF or a photo of the page; the clearer the photo, the better the read.
  2. 2Check the costWe show the number of credits before the run, and nothing is charged unless it succeeds.
  3. 3Run it and downloadPress “Run” and download the text file, ready to paste wherever you need it.

When it helps

A page of Arabic that exists only as an image is a dead end: you cannot search it, quote it or paste it anywhere. This reads the letters off the picture and gives you the words back as text.

Common questions

Which files can I upload?

A scanned PDF or a photo (JPEG or PNG), up to 50 MB and 50 pages per file. The clearer the photo, the better the read.

Does it work on handwriting?

It is built for printed pages. Neat, print-style handwriting sometimes reads, but treat anything handwritten as a draft and check it.

What about tables or Word output?

This tool reads text. For tables, use the PDF-to-text-and-tables tool, which reads tables alongside the text and says plainly how confident it is in each one.

How many credits does it use?

It depends on the number of pages. You see the exact number after the tool reads your file and before you confirm, and the credits come off only when the run succeeds.
