Why this exists
Text you can see but cannot use.
A scan or a photo holds words you cannot search, copy or paste. OCR Reader turns those into text, and shows you the result before anything is saved.
What it does
What it does.
Check before saving
The result appears on screen first.
Cloud processing
Recognition runs on a server, not on your machine.
When you would use it
Situations, not features.
A scanned document you must quote
Get the text instead of retyping it.
A photographed page
Turn it into something searchable.
Paper that has to become data
Read once, reuse many times.
How it goes
The basic flow.
You should be able to guess the next step without reading a manual.
- 1Choose a document
A PDF or an image.
- 2It is read
Recognition runs in the cloud.
- 3Check, then save
Nothing is stored until you accept it.
Your document leaves your machine.
Documents you select are sent to an APOUL server and processed by an external AI service. APOUL does not keep the content after processing, but if your documents cannot leave your organisation, this app is not suitable. Details of the external service will be given at release. If you only need to split a PDF, APOUL PDF Split does that on your own machine.
