BooPDF runs Tesseract through ocrmypdf to add an invisible text layer over your scans. The result looks identical but is now searchable, selectable and ready for translation or PDF-to-Word.
OCR PDF is for scanned contracts, letters, statements, manuals, and archives where the page looks like text but cannot be searched or copied. BooPDF keeps the visible page image and adds a hidden text layer for search and selection.
Blurry photos, skewed pages, handwriting, stamps, and low contrast reduce accuracy. If the source scan is poor, improve the image or rescan before uploading rather than expecting OCR to infer missing letters.
Typewritten/printed scans usually exceed 98% accuracy. Handwriting is not supported.
