We researched what the world genuinely hires OCR to do — in English and in Persian sources — and built for the jobs where the page itself matters, not just the words on it. Here is the honest map, including the jobs where we hand you something other than Word.
Scanned PDF to editable Word
The everyday one. Someone sent you a scan or a locked PDF and now you have to edit it, fill it in, translate it or reuse half of it. You do not want the text — you want the same document, editable.
Who this is forOffice staff, students, small businesses, freelancers — anywhere a scan arrives instead of a file
What you getWord
Columns, tables, indentation and images stay where they were
No floating text boxes that explode the moment you type
A large share of Persian conversion demand is not scans at all. It is digital PDFs made by older tools whose text turns into disconnected, meaningless letters the moment you copy it. People photograph a perfectly good page just to get readable text back.
Who this is forAnyone working with Persian PDFs produced by legacy publishing tools
What you getWord · Text
We read the page as printed rather than trusting a corrupted text layer
Half-spaces reconstructed by measurement, not by guesswork
Persian digits and punctuation preserved exactly
Faster and cheaper than photographing pages one by one
Turn years of past papers into editable, re-orderable items — equations, geometry figures, option layout, answer keys and marking schemes intact — so they can be remixed into new papers and tagged by topic.
Who this is forTest-prep publishers, coaching institutes, exam boards, teachers, assessment platforms
What you getWord · LaTeX · JSON
Equations become real, editable Word equations
Figures redrawn as vector shapes a teacher can adjust
Engineering and science lecture notes are the single most expensive thing to retype, because typists charge separately for every formula and every table. This is where the manual cost is concentrated.
Who this is forEngineering and science students, lecturers digitising their own notes, tutoring centres
What you getWord · LaTeX
Every formula compiled to prove it is valid before it ships
Tables rebuilt as real tables, not pictures
Mixed Persian and English handled in one pass
Page boundaries kept so lecture references still work
Financial statements, transcripts, price lists, laboratory results, census sheets — the table is the whole point, and it is exactly what general OCR flattens.
Who this is forAccountants, analysts, researchers, procurement teams, data journalists
What you getExcel · CSV
Merged cells and multi-page tables reconstructed
Original numerals kept — Persian, Arabic-Indic or Latin
An official translation has to mirror the original page: same stamps, same table of grades, same signature blocks. Translators currently rebuild that layout by hand before they can begin translating.
Who this is forTranslation offices, immigration and study-abroad consultants, notaries, universities handling transcripts
What you getWord
A visual replica with editable text runs, ready to translate in place
Dense grade tables with Persian numerals reproduced exactly
In these fields the page number is not decoration, it is a condition of validity: citations are made as volume and page. A text that loses its page boundaries is worthless to the researcher who needs to cite it.
Who this is forSeminaries and research institutes, editors of classical texts, religious libraries, doctoral researchers
What you getWord · Text · TEI
Volume, page and line preserved as citable coordinates
Diacritics reproduced exactly — never added, never dropped
Arabic and Persian letterforms never silently converted
Marginal notes kept as linked annotations, not merged into the body
Handwritten material costs ten to twenty times what printed material costs to transcribe, and there is no serious commercial tool for Persian or Arabic manuscript hands. This is the widest gap in the whole market.
Who this is forManuscript libraries, textual critics, historians, endowment and estate archives
What you getText · TEI · Images
Two independent readings with every disagreement surfaced
Uncertain regions flagged for a human rather than invented
Line-level coordinates back to the original image
Critical-apparatus output when you supply two witnesses
Give us two scans of the same text and get their differences as a critical apparatus. Existing collation tools are built for Latin scripts and tokenise Arabic script badly.
Who this is forTextual critics, classical-text publishers, Islamic studies and philology projects
What you getWord · Apparatus
Word-level differences with variant sigla
Arabic-script-aware tokenisation and normalisation
An out-of-print book exists only as paper or as a flat scan. To reissue it you need the page design back in an editable form — which is exactly what typesetting vendors charge several dollars a page to rebuild.
Who this is forIndependent and academic publishers, rights-reverted authors, family and institutional histories
What you getWord · PDF · EPUB
Page design preserved for print, structure preserved for ebook
Figures redrawn as vectors so they print sharp
Fidelity score per page, so you know where to look
Far below the per-page cost of a typesetting contractor
Accessible editions for blind and low-vision readers
This is the one job where page fidelity is the wrong answer. Blind readers need clean reflowable text with correct language tags — and in Persian a misplaced half-space makes a screen reader mispronounce the word.
Who this is forUniversity disability services, accessible-library programmes, publishers facing European and US accessibility deadlines
What you getEPUB3 · DAISY · PDF/UA
Reflowable structure with real headings and reading order
Mathematics as MathML, not as a picture with alt text
Persian spacing corrected for pronunciation, not for looks
Deadline-driven: the rules already apply in the EU
Retrieval systems are now the largest new buyer of layout-faithful reading, because a chatbot that cannot say which page it answered from is not usable in a regulated setting.
Who this is forAI engineering teams, knowledge-base and agent builders, enterprises building internal assistants
What you getMarkdown · JSON
Clean Markdown with a real document tree
Bounding boxes and page anchors on every block
Tables as HTML so they survive chunking
Citations that resolve back to the exact page region
Courts increasingly require a genuine searchable text layer for e-filing, and a missed word in discovery is a missed document. Separately, taking the other side's scanned contract into Word to redline is its own daily job.
Who this is forLaw firms, paralegals, legal departments, notaries
What you getSearchable PDF · Word
Searchable PDF with an accurate invisible text layer
Two-column layout, footnotes, running heads and multi-page result tables are where ordinary extraction quietly falls apart — and where researchers still copy numbers by hand.
Who this is forGraduate students, research groups, university typing and translation offices
What you getWord · LaTeX · PDF
Reading order correct across columns and footnotes
Result tables extracted as tables, ready for analysis
Typing offices are not only competitors — they are a distribution channel. They already have the customers and the deadlines; what they lack is anything that handles tables and formulas without a human.
Who this is forTyping agencies, freelancers, scanning bureaux, translation offices
What you getWord · API
API and batch upload for whole jobs
Your own accumulated corrections become your private rules
Organisations constantly need last year's tender document, form or standard operating procedure back in editable shape — with the boxes, rules and numbering exactly as they were.
Who this is forGovernment departments, hospitals, universities, large contractors
Registry entries, endowment deeds, old letters and family papers — usually handwritten, often the only copy, and the reason someone finally scans a box in the attic.
Who this is forFamily historians, estate and inheritance researchers, private collectors
The one with the table that never survives, or the formula that always breaks, or the Persian text that always reverses. That is the page we built this for.
