About ocr pdf to word
OCR works by analyzing the visual shapes of characters on a scanned page and matching them to known letterforms, producing real text instead of an image. For document-heavy workflows — old contracts, archived reports, photographed receipts — this is the step that makes a PDF searchable and editable again.
