#### Extract text from images and scanned PDF documents using Tesseract OCR.

PDF2OCR turns scanned PDFs, photographed pages, images and screenshots into
text you can edit, search, copy and save. Recognition runs entirely on your
computer with Tesseract OCR: your documents are never uploaded, and the text
is never translated or rewritten - you get exactly what is on the page.

**Read whole documents at once**

* Open PDFs, multi-page TIFFs and images, whole folders, or drag them in
* All pages are recognized in parallel, with progress and a Stop button
* Digital PDFs keep their exact text; OCR is only used where it is needed
* Pick the languages of your document: 15 built in, 100+ more in one click

**Clean results from imperfect sources**

* Sideways, upside-down and slightly tilted pages are straightened automatically
* Photographed pages are flattened: the page corners are found for you
* Optional cleanup for faded scans, coloured paper, specks and small screenshots
* Words that may be misread are flagged in the text and on the page

**Get just what you need**

* Select an area of a page to read only that part
* Copy a table and paste it straight into LibreOffice Calc or Excel as cells
* Page image and text are linked word by word for quick proofreading
* Find & replace across all pages

**From anywhere**

* Paste a screenshot, or capture an area of the screen
* Quick capture: press a keyboard shortcut anywhere and the text of the
  selected area lands on your clipboard (pdf2go --capture)
* Scan directly from USB and network scanners, including document feeders

**Save it your way**

* Searchable PDF, Word, LibreOffice, Markdown, plain text, Excel and CSV
* Your work is saved automatically and comes back after a restart or crash
* Batch conversion from the terminal: pdf2go --to pdf ~/Scans

USB scanners need a one-time permission:

`sudo snap connect pdf2go:raw-usb`
