Scanned PDF to text and tables
Read a scanned PDF - a photocopied report, an old filing, a document that reached you as pictures of pages - and get the text of every page plus the tables that were on them, as real rows and columns. Empty cells stay null so nothing shifts, and a cell the OCR could not read is flagged separately instead of being passed off as blank. Ten languages, no API key, no cloud OCR account.
