OCR TEXT SCANNER

Copy text from paper without retyping it.

ScanFile uses on-device text recognition to extract readable text from a saved scan. Copy it into a message, note, form, or search without sending the page to a ScanFile server.

Scan first, extract when needed

Open a saved document and use the Text action. ScanFile processes the pages and presents the recognized text so you can copy it to the clipboard.

Get a better OCR result

• Keep the page evenly lit

• Correct the crop and perspective
• Use a readable document filter
• Avoid blur and heavy shadows

Useful for everyday text

Extract a tracking number from a receipt, a reference number from a letter, a paragraph from a handout, or contact information from a printed page. OCR is a convenience tool, so review important details before relying on them.

Your document stays local

The text-recognition operation runs on the device. ScanFile does not need to upload the page or recognized text to its own document cloud.
