Scanned archive records to searchable text
Archives, court files and declassified records are usually photographs of paper - you cannot search them, quote them or paste them anywhere. This reads the pages with OCR and gives you the text back, page by page, with a confidence score on each one so you know how far to trust it. Ten languages. No API key and no cloud OCR account.
