A FEW HELPFUL DETAILS

Know your document.
Get a better result.

Extract text for notes, searching, or reuse. Reading order can differ in multi-column layouts and tables. Image-only scans need OCR, which is not currently connected; this tool will tell you if it finds no selectable text.

Can it read a scanned document?

This tool extracts existing text. Image-only scans require OCR, which is not available in this local version.

Will formatting be preserved?

Plain text preserves words and basic line breaks, not fonts, images, or complex layout.
