About OCR — Searchable PDF
naskh's OCR — Searchable PDF tool lets you turn a scanned PDF into a searchable, copyable PDF — with a hidden Arabic + English text layer. It uses an Arabic-tuned AI model, so it keeps diacritics, numerals and right-to-left order that ordinary converters get wrong. It is completely free, runs in your browser with nothing to install, and is built Arabic-first with full right-to-left support.
