The specific problem is that scanned and printed text documents such as PDFs and images cannot be edited, as the information they contain is only present as a graphic, not editable text. This not only makes editing the text content difficult but also makes text search within the documents impossible. In addition, manual data entry and revision of content is time-consuming and prone to errors. People who frequently work with scanned documents in particular, depend on an efficient solution to be able to easily extract and edit text information. Language barriers also pose an additional challenge when the original documents are not in the native language.

The tool "Free Online OCR" solves this problem by converting scanned documents, PDFs, and images into editable text. It uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to identify and digitally display the text contained within the images. The resulting text is editable and searchable, greatly facilitating and enhancing the work with such documents. By eliminating the need for manual data entry, the tool saves valuable time. In addition, it can handle multiple languages and is therefore suitable for documents in foreign languages. Thus, "Free Online OCR" is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to extract and edit text from scanned documents or images.
