pdf to word ocr

Teachers etc. will still be able to do plagiarism detection and such would still be a violation of any copyright if that your concern. I don otherwise understand your question. What next step do you need?

Google uses modofied Tesseract which they have released as free software. What works for them is that they hae a large dataset. You see teaching OCR 1 examples of a letter makes it better teaching 2 sometimes makes it worse as it starts paying attention to details which are not meaningful but teaching it 1 billion examples makes it near-godlike. Another thing is that have a lot of skilled engineers who tweak that and who use linguistic knowledge to make the more accurate. If OCR cannot decide between 3 interpretations of a word you see it chooses the one that that exists in a dictionary and that makes grammatical sense in that place of . This is at least hoe it looks from a perspectove of a long-time OCR user. Remember hower that Google Books have been OCR-ed beforehand and corrected by humans using captcha (this is what Google has apparently used it for).

Thanks to A2A. First of all let me clarify that a PDF file incorporates both and of a background and in that case an ocr software can recognize the in the image to extract it. I have seen (and used many of them) and they all work pretty well to extract the with just a few errors. On the other hand if the PDF file contains then any PDF viewer such as Foxit PDF Adobe Acrobat Adobe illustrator or even Sumatra PDF will give you the option to select the (by dragging your mouse through) and copy it to the clipboard. Then you can paste it in notepad or MS word or Write or any editor. If you use Adobe acrobat or illustrator both programs can preserve the formatting. Cheers

You cannot. A PDF can either have . Unless scans in a PDF have been processed using OCR software you cannot search it. You can still OCR that PDF and have a new one.

There is no good way to use Microsoft Word to edit PDFs. Microsoft Word is used for authoring an original document not modifying a portable document. True Word can import some data from a PDF. That feature is useful when you are authoring a new document and wish to salvage data from a PDF to prevent time spent entering data. In that case it is best to import the PDF into a file by itself and strip it of formatting then copy and paste it into your pre-formatted document as Normal . Then you will proceed to make other formatting changes for headings section numbering etc. If you must edit a PDF directly your edits should be minor. Even in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro you are limited in how much editing you can do. Fix a misspelled word maybe replace a word here or there. If you try to rearrange a document or make edits that cause significant changes regarding allocated space you will not get what you expect. The way flows in a PDF is not always what you expect so shortening or lengthening paragraphs will give strange results oftentimes. PDF editors are not page layout programs. So if your edits are minor and you must edit the of an existing PDF get your hands on a PDF editor (not free). If you can get away with obscuring existing and s you just need good annotation capability. If you have a Mac you can use Preview to annotate or cut and paste graphics. The free Acrobat Reader allows some annotations too. You can use annotations to white-out a section of and put in new annotation to replace it. If you are careful it may not be that noticeable. You can white-out s to alter graphics. You can create a Frankenstein Monster of a document if you like using free PDF annotation software. But then youll ask yourself why you didn just make a whole new document in Microsoft Word something you could call your own.
