TEXT FAIRY

APP OF THE WEEK

Image-only PDF cannot be exported to text with Adobe Acrobat Reader or other similar software unless optical character recognition (OCR) is applied. Without OCR, you would have to manually re-type a document character by character, word by word, which is enormously time consuming. OCR reduces such pains as it turns non-searchable printed text into machine-encoded content that is text-searchable. Text Fairy is an outstanding app with OCR capabilities and it works reasonably well. Take a picture of a printed document and within a few seconds, the app recognises text in the document. You can then make use of the text, copy it to clipboard or directly export to a PDF file that is text-searchable.
