Scribe OCR

Purpose: Scribe OCR recognizes text from images, supports OCR proofreading, and creates digitized documents.
Proofreading: It overlays editable OCR text on source images and can optimize a custom font for each document to improve alignment.
Searchable PDFs: The maker lists adding a searchable text layer to PDF documents as a primary use case.
Digitized documents: It can create text-native, ebook-style PDFs intended to represent the original document.
Table extraction: An optional experimental feature can export extracted table data to XLSX.
Input files: The documentation describes importing PDF, PNG, and JPEG files.
External OCR data: Existing Tesseract HOCR and Abbyy XML data with character-level metrics can be imported for editing.
Recognition languages: The FAQ says popular Latin-script languages are supported and Simplified Chinese has experimental support with less accurate character positioning.
Processing and privacy: The maker says the program runs in the browser and no data is sent to a remote server.
Local use: A local copy can be run by serving the project files over a local HTTP server; the repository says there is no standalone desktop application.
PDF limitation: The FAQ says Scribe OCR does not directly edit PDFs and renders PDF pages to PNG images when importing them.
Save and resume: The table extraction guide says Scribe files preserve an editing session and must be imported with the original image or PDF files.
Support: The maker directs users to GitHub issues and discussions, with email support available at [email protected].
Development status: The support page says the software is in active development and has no formal versions or releases.
