archive, search, edit, translate, for Mac and Windows

Convert any PDF or graphic file into searchable PDF, RTF, HTML and TXT

Searchable Text

OCRKit is a simple and streamlined Mac application, that features the advanced Optical Character Recognition technology, allowing you to convert scanned or printed documents into searchable and editable text. This is particularly useful for PDF documents received via e-mail or created by DTP applications. It can be a great help for everyone, home users, corporate users at work and educational institutions.

You can use the copy and paste tools on the document, instead of retyping everything and correct it. It increases the efficiency and effectiveness of office workflow. OCRKit is fast and accurate, ensuring the document's content remains intact while saving time as well.

OCR Engine

  • Text recognition accuracy
  • Instant content search ability
  • PDF Compression
  • High speed conversion
  • Stability and performance
The OCR engine recognizes the following languages:

Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Rumanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Norwegian.

Automatic rotation

The automatic rotation determines the orientation of each scanned sheet automatically, therefore avoiding the need to manually pre-sort a stack before you scan. As the automatic rotation works independently from the OCR mechanism, the feature also helps to improve OCR results.
