    Arabic and English OCR that keeps your documents private

    Most free OCR sites handle English well and Arabic badly — and they all want you to upload the document. This tool recognises Arabic, English or both on the same page, and it runs the recognition engine inside your browser, so a scanned contract, ID or medical report never leaves your device.

    Drop in a scanned PDF, a photo or a screenshot. If a PDF page already contains real text, it is copied directly — instantly and perfectly. Scanned pages are read by the OCR engine, and you can download the result as plain text or as a searchable PDF that looks like the original but lets you select and search the words.

    How to get the best Arabic results

    • Use clear, printed text: 300 dpi scans or sharp phone photos in good light.
    • Choose “Arabic” alone for Arabic-only pages — it is faster and more accurate than both.
    • Handwriting and decorative fonts are not recognised reliably by any OCR.
    • Typing up a price list or catalogue? We can put it online as a website or menu you update yourself.

    How to use it

    1. Choose a PDF or image.
    2. Pick Arabic, English or both.
    3. Copy the text or download it.

    Questions

    Does it read Arabic?

    Yes. Choose Arabic, English or both. Clear, printed text works best; handwriting and very blurry photos give weak results.

    Are my documents uploaded?

    No. The text recognition runs inside your browser, so private documents stay on your device. The first run downloads the language files once.

    How many pages can it do?

    Up to 30 pages per PDF. Each page takes a few seconds, depending on your device.
