Make scanned PDFs searchable.
plume · local · convert/ocr-pdf · works offline
Your scanned pages get an invisible text layer, so a picture of words becomes text you can search, select and copy. The page looks exactly the same. Open a scan (or photos of a document), pick a language, and press Make searchable. Recognition runs on your device in about a second per page.
