OCR: make scanned PDFs searchable, in Thai and English
A scanned PDF is just pictures of pages. OCR reads the words so you can search, select and copy them, and convert the document to Word.

Why your files stay private
Most online PDF tools send your document to their server, process it there and send it back. Docurve works differently: the work happens inside your own browser, on your own phone or computer. Your files are never uploaded, so nobody else can see, keep or reuse them. That matters for the documents people handle most: contracts, payslips, ID copies, invoices and medical records.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Thai OCR?
Clear, straight scans read best. Straighten crooked pages first for better results.
Does OCR change how the PDF looks?
No. An invisible text layer is added behind the page image.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Text recognition runs in your browser.
