For scanned PDFs, these are the 4 things that matter most
The goal is not just to recognize text from scans. It is to turn scanned pages into something you can still search, edit, and read afterward, without losing layout, formulas, tables, or structure along the way.
Which PDFs are worth converting
Scanned books, papers, textbooks, handouts, double-column layouts, and files packed with formulas, tables, or footnotes are where this workflow makes the biggest difference.
What you get back
You end up with EPUB or Markdown that is easier to search, copy, proofread, and build on, instead of image pages that still look right but stay locked down.
How the work continues after export
Review OCR and layout on desktop first, then keep exporting, archiving, or reading. If you switch devices, you can pick back up on iPhone and iPad too.
Why this is more than basic OCR
Recognizing the words is only the first step. A usable result also needs to preserve formulas, tables, layout, and reading order well enough for search, editing, and follow-up work.
