OCR PDF reads the words in a scanned PDF and lays invisible text over each page, exactly on top of the words, so you can search, select and copy them while the pages look the same. It reads Arabic and English, and can also give you just the text as a .txt file. The reading happens on your device; the pages are never uploaded.
