Every OCR tool I tried turned Arabic into soup. So I built SnapDoc (launching Aug 5)

Quick story, and a question for you.

Every OCR and PDF-to-Word tool I tried did unspeakable things to Arabic: letters divorced from each other, whole lines reading backwards, and tables rearranged into abstract art. Charming in a gallery. A disaster on a contract or a government form.

So I built SnapDoc, an Arabic-first OCR that actually respects the language:

- Keeps right to left flow and reconnects the letters, so words stay words

SnapDoc - Scanned Arabic PDFs, turned into perfect editable Word

SnapDoc is an Arabic-first OCR tool that turns scanned or photographed Arabic PDFs and images into fully editable Word files. Most converters break connected letters, flip the reading order, and turn tables into a mess. SnapDoc preserves right to left layout, connected letters, tashkeel, tables, and colors, so government forms, legal contracts, and invoices come out clean and editable. Bilingual Arabic and English supported. Free at 1 page a day.
