Can I convert a scanned document into Microsoft Word and then edit it?

Soda PDF comes equipped with OCR technology. This allows a user to edit the visible text found in images. This means that to work with a scanned document, it will be necessary for a user to have the OCR Module.

 

If the OCR module is not available for you, you can purchase it here.

You can apply the OCR engine while you are converting a PDF to a Microsoft Word file.
