Frequently asked questions
Does ScanScribe need an internet connection?
No. Recognition runs entirely on your PC using models bundled in the app; it works fully offline.
What is a searchable PDF?
A PDF that looks identical to your original scanned image but has an invisible, selectable text layer underneath, so you can search, highlight and copy from it like a normal document.
What file types does it accept?
PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP and WebP images.
What if my photo is sideways or upside down?
ScanScribe detects the orientation automatically and straightens the text before reading it.
Is my document ever sent anywhere?
No. Nothing is uploaded; everything stays on your PC.
