How does it read a scan?
It uses text recognition (OCR) right in your browser, so your scan is never uploaded.
What if a word is read wrong?
Just retype it. You can also cover anything with Whiteout and type over it.
The scan is sideways. Can I fix it first?
Yes. Use Rotate a PDF first.
Are my files private?
Yes. Your file opens and is edited inside your own browser. It is never uploaded to our servers.
