A document, consisting of scanned images of text is difficult to access since the content of the document is images, not searchable text.
The problem is that users cannot select or resize the text nor can they change or copy it.
Turning the PDF to text will allow for the text part to be accessed separately.
In addition, getting text from images (for example, photographed menus, or scanned documents) requires manual transcription.
This problem can also be easily solved by extracting the text from images using Hexomatic.
This short tutorial will guide you through extracting text from PDF documents or images at scale in just a few clicks using Hexomatic.
