GetSearchablePDF
ChatGPT pluginMake scans searchable with OCR
Attach a scanned PDF or a photo of a document and GetSearchablePDF adds an OCR text layer, so you can search, select and copy its text. A panel in the chat shows progress and then a Download button for each file, up to 10 at a time. Only the pages without text go to OCR; pages that already have text are left as they are. If an old scan has a wrong text layer, run OCR anyway to replace it. Sign in with your GetSearchablePDF account to use it. Files are deleted after 60 minutes and never used for training.
