How to convert Scanned PDF Documents to Word (iOS)

Very often we have to deal with scanned documents on our mobile devices. We might have scanned them ourselves with one of the many PDF scanners available on iTunes, or we received them via email or similar. Such documents need a special ORC technology to be converted.

We have released a special mobile app which enables users to convert scanned documents to Word on the go. This app also works with regular PDF documents, but is mostly designed for scanned ones. The output converted format is .docx.

Have in mind that for a successful conversion of a scanned document you need a document that has been scanned properly. For proper scanning the document should lie on a flat surface. It will be difficult to properly scan folded or crumpled papers. Additionaly, for a proper conversion of a scanned document it must not be too blurry and letters have to be clearly visible.

Here is how the app works for both iPhone or iPad. Go to your desired document. Tap on it to get a Share or Open In menu.

Choose the Scanned PDF to Word app on the list.

After this the conversion will start immediately. You might have to wait a while depending on the server load, if you don’t upgrade to premium when prompted.
