OCRMD

OCR Markdown (OCRMD) is a user-friendly OCR tool that converts scanned documents, images, and non-selectable PDFs into editable Markdown or LaTeX. The free, browser-based version allows you to extract and convert up to 30 pages or images per session, with no signup required. It supports quick text extraction, including PDF text-layer extraction, and operates entirely client-side for privacy. Upgrading to Premium unlocks advanced, AI-enhanced OCR with 90–99% accuracy, better formatting recognition (including maths, tables, and images), full PDF support, secure cloud storage, powerful document organization, and full-text search. This helps streamline document workflows and makes previously unsearchable text easy to access and reuse.

OCR Markdown (OCRMD) is ideal for converting scanned documents, images, and non-selectable or problematic PDFs into editable and searchable Markdown or LaTeX. Use cases include:

• Academic and Research Work: Convert research articles, scientific papers, or scanned notes into editable formats for easy citation and collaboration.
• Digitizing Printed Documents: Make printed contracts, forms, and letters accessible and editable without manual re-typing.
• PDFs with Broken Text or Rasterized Content: Extract correct, usable text from PDFs that display garbled characters, have incorrect unicode encoding, or are completely image-based (rasterized), where regular copy-pasting fails.
• Archive and Library Management: Turn archival scans or problematic PDFs into searchable, organized text for digital libraries or content management.
• Blogging and Publishing: Convert screenshots, book pages, or legacy PDFs into Markdown for content migration or direct publishing.
• Math and STEM Projects: Extract and edit mathematical formulas, tables, and scientific content, streamlining LaTeX editing for researchers and students.
• Code and Documentation: Reuse code snippets or documentation from images or poorly encoded PDFs for faster integration into codebases or technical wikis.
• Personal Productivity: Digitize and search personal notes, receipts, and other records—even if the original files have broken, unselectable, or image-only text.

This expanded list highlights OCRMD’s ability to make even the most inaccessible, poorly encoded, or rasterized documents quickly reusable and searchable.
