Unfortunately, not many image and text editors come with built-in OCR technology. So, altering your scanned documents and getting quality results might prove to be quite challenging. For this reason, applications like OCRKit were developed. This utility enables you to convert scanned documents into searchable and editable files with just a few clicks.
The program works with a wide variety of input formats, such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, OpenEXR, etc. Before importing any documents, you need to configure the app's settings according to your needs. You can choose from multiple output formats (PDF, HTML, RTF or TXT), select the preferred resolution, rotate the file's pages, etc.
An important aspect is that the application preserves the quality of the input documents. Plus, its OCR engine recognizes various languages and the tool takes just a few moments to generate the files you need.
The utility also features options to automatically send the original files to Trash once the conversion process is complete and immediately launch the output document.
With that being said, OCRKit proves to be a reliable solution for transforming scanned documents into editable files. It's simple to configure, works flawlessly, and preserves the original layout of the input files.
