FAQPage Schema
How do I extract Arabic text from a scanned PDF or image?▼

Extract Arabic text from scanned PDFs or photos by running OCR tools like Tesseract or HuggingFace TrOCR. This process converts embedded image text into editable plain text files for quick digitization and search.

Does offline Arabic OCR work without sending documents to the cloud?▼

Offline Arabic OCR works without cloud connectivity by using local Tesseract with Arabic support. This ensures private processing of scanned documents and forms while converting embedded text into searchable archives.

What dependencies are needed to run Arabic OCR on scanned documents?▼
