Frequently Asked Questions

What does the OCR Document Scanner do?

You upload a scanned document, PDF, or image and it extracts the text using Mistral OCR, returning clean, structured output that keeps tables, headings, lists, and equations intact.

What file types and sizes can I upload?

Upload common document and image formats such as PDF, PNG, and JPG. Keep files within the per-upload size limit; for very large multi-file jobs, split them or use a batch workflow.

Does it preserve layout like tables and equations?

Yes — unlike basic OCR, it aims to retain structure including tables, headings, lists, and mathematical equations so the output stays usable rather than a flat block of text.

How accurate is the extraction?

Accuracy is high on clear printed scans. Low-resolution, skewed, or heavily stylized pages reduce accuracy, so upload the sharpest scan you have and proofread critical figures.

Does it handle handwriting?

This scanner is tuned for printed and typeset documents. For cursive or handwritten notes, a handwriting-specific OCR tool will give better results.

Can I use the extracted text commercially?

Yes, you own and can use the extracted text however you need, including for commercial purposes.

What happens to my uploaded files — are they kept?

Uploads are processed to extract the text and then discarded; they are not stored long-term or shared. Save the extracted text on your side.

Is it free?

Yes — 5 uses per day free with no signup; Pro is $19/month for higher daily volume.
