Extract Arabic text from PDFs, scans, Word, Excel and PowerPoint in correct right-to-left order, with a coverage map of what was read and how.

Upload a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a scanned image.

Choosing a file uploads nothing and charges nothing — its size is read here first and the price shown.

Extract Arabic text from your files as it is: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and scanned images, in correct right-to-left reading order.

Office files are read from their structure, so the text matches the original character for character and costs nothing. PDFs and images go through OCR, and a coverage map says which pages were read, how, and what could not be read and why.

Who it is for

  • Scanned PDF to editable text

    A scanned file becomes text you can copy and edit.

  • Archiving and search

    Old documents made searchable.

  • Translation

    A clean source text from a PDF for the translator.

  • Data entry

    Contract and form text ready to move.

How it works

  1. Upload a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a scanned image.
  2. Office files are read directly from their structure; PDFs and images are read with OCR.
  3. A coverage map shows what was processed, what was skipped and why, and which method read each part.

Frequently asked questions

Which formats are supported?

PDF and images, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, HTML and Markdown. Legacy .doc and .xls need saving in the modern format first, and you are told so clearly.

Does it work on scans?

Yes, and pages that could not be read are marked rather than passed off as correct.

Is reading a Word file free?

Yes — Office files are read without a model, so there is no charge, and the price shown says so before you run it.
