Work with the text, not just the document.

Upload your PDF to extract its text. Use the result as a starting point for reading, searching, or preparing notes, then check important details against the original.

Use a clear original

Sharp, readable pages give text recognition a better starting point. Review names, numbers, and passages from low-quality scans carefully.

Text extraction is not a layout editor

Expect usable text rather than an exact recreation of the PDF's design. Tables, columns, and complex page layouts may need manual cleanup.

Privacy & Your Data

Exactly What Happens to Your Data.

No hidden terms and no tricks. Here is what happens to your audio, your transcripts and your dictation.

Never Used to Train AI Models

Your recordings are processed to create your text, not to improve someone else’s model.

Original Audio Deleted After 14 Days

That applies to the source audio. Your transcript stays available until you delete it.

Dictation History Stays on Your Device

You choose whether dictation history is saved on the device where you use it.

Questions, answered.

The essentials before you start.

Will the text preserve the exact page layout?
No. Text extraction focuses on the content, not an exact reproduction of the document's formatting.
