OCR & Text
Turn scans into searchable, selectable text. The document language matters more than any slider.
A scan is a photograph of text. OCR turns that photograph into characters a computer can search, select and copy. Accuracy depends on the language, the scan quality and the font, so the language setting deserves more attention than any slider.
