Giveaway of the day — PDF Text OCR Xtractor 3.2.2.20
PDF Text OCR Xtractor 3.2.2.20 was available as a giveaway on March 2, 2025!
PDF Text OCR Xtractor is perfect to extract text from PDFs and all kinds of popular image formats, such as PNG, JPG, BMP, and TIFF.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor uses Tesseract OCR technology. Tesseract is perhaps the most powerful and advanced OCR software out there and here is why: First of all, a bit of history. It was developed by HP in 1994, but soon the company released it under Apache License for open-source development. In 2006, Google took over the project and sponsored developers to work on Tesseract. Fast forward now and Tesseract has become the most powerful OCR engine that uses Deep Learning to extract texts from images (BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) and PDF files.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor supports 20+ different languages and lets you set custom processing parameters to source files/images, such as smoothening and DPI adjustment, increasing contrast, and other useful tricks, before analyzing them.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor has high accuracy and will get any image or PDF you have into editable searchable text. The conversion from image to text is quick.

1. Use of the best OCR technology available.

When I try to set the language to Hebrew (or German or Italian or ?) it says that the language is not installed and asks if I want to install it, but when I answer 'yes' nothing happens.

I had high hopes for this program but was very disappointed with the results. The program only partially extracted text and it was far from prefect with the text it did manage to extract. Sorry, not a keeper for me at all.

Installed easily although Windows didn't like the fact that the publisher or author field was blank. However I was disappointed with the PDF Text OCR Xtractor. I had a multiple page pdf document which was not searchable. So I selected that document and clicked on the "Convert to text" button. And only the first page of the document was OCRed. I tried scanning page 10 and it did nothing for 3 minutes. So I closed the program and opened it again. I tried another multiple page document that had 8 pages. After I clicked on "Convert to text" the program crashed.

I installed the program. I selected Hungarian as the language, and it said: "The language is not installed. Do you want to install it?" I clicked the "Yes" button... and nothing happens.
What is the solution?

Loaded in a 3.5MB PDF and then the GUI wasn't responding for about 2 minutes. And at that time it hasn't even extracted any text... Extraction quality is average, I would say. No way near the quality of (AI based) online services like Microsoft Azure.
At one extraction step the program stated that it has too less memory and simply closed itself.
