Yes, Afforai does support OCR for scanned PDFs. However, it is important to note that the OCR process for scanned documents can be time-consuming. To ensure a smoother experience, we recommend following these guidelines:
For smaller documents (up to 128 pages per document):
You can directly upload the scanned PDF to Afforai, and our system will perform the OCR process internally. For the upload process to be successful, make sure to select the OCR language of the documents you upload correctly.
Afforai currently supports OCR for the following languages: Link
For larger documents (over 128 pages per document):
We recommend pre-processing the scanned PDF by using an external OCR provider before uploading it to Afforai. By doing so, you can significantly reduce the processing time on our servers and improve the overall efficiency of the OCR process.
You still get the best performance when it's text-based pdfs that doesn't require OCR. For help with improving OCR quality, check out this resource:
