Extract Amharic text from scanned PDF files
A scanned PDF is only a set of pictures, so you cannot select, copy or search its text. Amharic PDF OCR reads each page and extracts the Amharic text so you can reuse it in Word, a message or a database.
Scans at a clear resolution give the best result. Large PDFs take longer because every page is processed on your own device, so start with a few pages to check quality. If you only need a searchable copy of the same file, use the Searchable PDF tool instead.

Questions
How many pages can it read?
Up to {maxOcrPages} pages at a time. For longer documents, select pages in batches.
Why is the new PDF black and white?
Pages are cleaned up so the text reads better; the PDF keeps the cleaned image.
How long does a scanned PDF take?
It depends on the page count and your device. Expect a few seconds per page on a modern phone or computer.
Can it read mixed Amharic and English pages?
Yes. Choose the Amharic plus English option so both scripts are recognised.
