Haitian PDF OCR is a free online tool that extracts Haitian text from scanned and image-based PDF files. Upload your PDF, choose a page and recognize the whole page or a selected area. The free tool processes one page at a time. Review and correct the extracted text, then copy it or download it as TXT or Word. You can also refine the result with Smart Edit or translate it.
Keep the selected language when it matches the document, or choose another recognition language.
Choose Classic or Future, open your PDF and select the current page or a text region.
Click Start, complete verification, correct the result and choose your download format.
PDF OCR recognizes writing that is stored as an image inside a PDF. Open the document, navigate to the page you need and recognize the page or a selected rectangle. Review the result before copying, editing or downloading it.
Extract a section from a scanned page without retyping the whole document.
Compare quotations, names and numbers with the source before using them.
Save reviewed words as TXT or Word, then arrange them for the intended use.
Open one PDF up to 200 MB and 750 source pages. Each OCR request processes only the current page or selected region.
Use the page controls to reach the page you need. Draw, move or resize a rectangle around a passage, or use the whole page. Keep complete lines and punctuation inside the selection.
You can prepare the current page with the image enhancement controls before recognition. Click Start and complete verification when ready. A different page or region requires a separate recognition request.
Use an unlocked copy of a protected PDF. Large or complex documents can reach memory or processing limits even when they are within the file-size and source-page limits.
Search 128 recognition languages. Keep the current selection when it matches the source, or choose another document language.
The recognition-language picker describes the words in your source. It is independent of the website interface language. Selecting another recognition language opens its dedicated OCR page.
Choose the language that best matches the passage you want to read. A language selection is not a promise that every word, mixed-language line or historical typeface will be recognized correctly.
Classic includes single-column and multiple-column settings. Future offers another recognition approach for supported languages.
For Classic, choose a column setting that matches the selected content. A focused single-column region can be easier to review than several unrelated text blocks.
Both modes provide editable text and Word output. Classic can also produce a Searchable PDF retaining the selected image area with its recognized text layer. Future's Simple PDF creates a new text layout rather than retaining the original scan design.
Review the source beside the recognized text regardless of the output format. Neither mode guarantees a perfect transcript or an editable reconstruction of the original tables, pictures and typography.
Use the source preview and editable result together. Check important words, numbers and reading order before copying or downloading.
Zoom the source to inspect names, dates, amounts, identifiers and punctuation. Correct the result directly when a letter is wrong or a line break interrupts a sentence.
TXT and Word downloads use the current text. Future's text-only PDF can use the corrected text as well. Later edits do not rewrite the original OCR layer in a Classic Searchable PDF; keep that distinction in mind when choosing a format.
Use the Simple or Advanced editor, local cleanup, history and optional AI actions. Apply Changes returns the edited plain text to the main result.
Advanced editor provides headings, emphasis, lists, alignment, text direction, font choices, colors and highlighting. Simple editor is useful for plain-text corrections. Editing the plain text can remove rich formatting, so choose the workflow that matches your intended output.
Summarize text, Paraphrase text, Fix grammar and Suggest a title are optional server-processed actions. Select a passage for a focused request or leave nothing selected to use the whole editor. A request is limited to 600 words and 12,000 characters; shorten the passage when needed.
Remove accents and vowel marks, normalize number shapes, and use Undo, Redo or Restore to compare changes. These tools are useful for cleanup, but changing spelling or wording is different from transcribing the source. Review any change that could alter meaning.
The main result offers TXT, Word and PDF. Inside Smart edit, direct Word, PDF and HTML downloads keep the editor's supported formatting.
Use TXT for plain text, or the main Word download for an editable document in a new text layout. Choose PDF with the mode distinction in mind: Classic retains the recognized image area, while Future produces text in a new layout.
For headings, lists and other Smart edit formatting, download Word, PDF or HTML directly from that editor. Apply Changes sends plain text back to the main OCR result; it does not turn the original scanned page into editable layout objects.
Download anything you need before reloading the page or starting another file. A working editor is not a saved project, and exports should be opened and checked in the application where you will use them.
Translate text uses the current recognized text, up to 25,000 characters, and lets you review the translated result before applying it.
Correct recognition mistakes first, then open Translate text and choose the target language. The request translates the entire current text in the main result; highlighting a passage there does not limit translation to that selection.
Copy translation copies the translated version without replacing the main result. Use translated text replaces the editable OCR text with the translation. Keep a copy of the original transcript if you need both versions.
Translation can change nuance or misread an ambiguous phrase. Review names, quantities and important instructions, and consult the source when the result is uncertain.
Open one PDF up to 200 MB and 750 source pages. Recognition processes one selected page or region per request. Protected documents need an unlocked copy. Large or complex files can require more memory.
PDF previews and ordinary text editing run in your browser. Images upload after selection to prepare a safe preview. OCR starts after verification. Requested OCR, translation and AI editing use server processing and may use processing providers. Read the Privacy Policy for file handling and storage details.
Proofread accented vowels in Kreyòl words and names instead of treating a missing accent as a harmless formatting change.
Keep the original spelling when reviewing material that mixes Haitian Creole and French; avoid accepting automatic corrections without checking the source.
Digitize Haitian Creole letters, announcements, and community notices.
Extract text from scanned Haitian school handouts and study guides.
Convert Haitian Creole reports and NGO documents into editable text.
A few answers before you get started.
Server processingCompare accented vowels and word spacing with the original, particularly in short words and names. A clearer scan can help when accents are faint; correct the recognized text before reusing it.
Keep the wording shown in the source. On a page containing both Kreyòl and French, review each passage in its own language; a familiar French spelling is not a reason to replace a Haitian Creole word.
No. You can open one PDF up to 200 MB and 750 source pages, but each request recognizes one selected page or area. Navigate to another page and run a separate request when you need more text.
Often you can use PDF to Text to extract an existing text layer. OCR is useful when the words are stored as a scan or image. A PDF may contain both kinds of pages, so check the page you actually need.
No. Classic creates the searchable output from the page or area recognized in that request. It does not add OCR to every page of the source PDF in one run.
No. The current recognition language is already selected. Choose another language when it better matches the text in your document. The searchable list contains 128 recognition languages, separate from the website interface language.
Classic includes single-column and multiple-column settings and can create a Searchable PDF with the selected image and its OCR text layer. Future is available for supported languages and creates a text-only Simple PDF in a new layout. Both provide editable text and Word output.
The main Word download is an editable text document, not a full reconstruction of the source page. Columns, tables, pictures and typefaces may need to be arranged again. Use Smart edit for supported text formatting before its direct Word, PDF or HTML export.
Corrections update the current TXT and Word text, and Future's text-only PDF can use the edited wording. They do not rewrite the original text layer in a Classic Searchable PDF. Use a text export when you need the corrected wording in a new document.
Correct plain text, format it in the Advanced editor, clean up characters, use Undo and Redo, or request a summary, paraphrase, grammar correction or title. Download formatted Word, PDF or HTML directly from Smart edit. Apply Changes returns plain text to the main result.
Yes. Translate text processes the entire current result, up to 25,000 characters. Review it, then choose Copy translation or Use translated text. The latter replaces the main editable text, so keep the original transcript if you need both versions.
Yes. A plausible-looking word or number may still be wrong. Compare names, dates, amounts, identifiers and important wording with the source. Handwriting, unusual fonts, low resolution and complex layouts can need more careful review.
PDF previews and ordinary text editing run in your browser. Image inputs upload for preview preparation. OCR begins after verification; OCR, translation, AI editing and some document exports use server processing and may use processing providers. Read the Privacy Policy for file handling details.
Open your uploaded PDF in a preparation tool. Return to PDF OCR from its result when you are ready.
