Convert Scanned PDFs to Editable and Searchable PDFs

In this latest version, we have further enhanced our OCR capabilities by adding support for converting scanned PDFs into searchable and editable PDFs on Mac and Windows. Here's an introduction to its use cases, integration with other features, supported platforms, and supported languages:

By converting images into the PPT format, you can effortlessly insert them into your presentation, making your slides more dynamic and captivating.
Throughout all these conversion processes, we have implemented advanced OCR technology. This technology allows for precise and accurate recognition of text within images, transforming them into editable text, and ensuring the most accurate conversion results. By leveraging OCR technology, we provide users with higher levels of accuracy and editability, delivering an outstanding experience when converting image formats.
