ARC Scanner: Scan to Text

Searchable PDF, TXT & JSON

$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Scan paper and get a searchable PDF, plain text, or structured JSON in one tap. Text is recognized on your device, and nothing is uploaded. ARC Scanner turns paper into text you can use. Scan a document with your camera or import photos, and ARC Scanner recognizes the text on your device. Then export exactly what you need: • Searchable PDF: looks like your scan, and the text can be selected, copied, and searched • Plain text: one .txt file, separated by page • Structured JSON: pages, text blocks, positions, and confidence, ready for your own scripts and tools • All Files: the PDF, page images, text, JSON, and a manifest in one folder • Plain PDF, JPEG, or PNG pages when you only need images PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Text recognition runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded. • No account, no ads, no tracking. MADE FOR REAL DOCUMENTS • Multi-page scanning with automatic edge detection • Import several photos at once • Delete a page you don't need, with undo • Compact PDFs: camera scans are embedded without being compressed again • On iOS 26 and later, recognition keeps document structure, such as titles, where it is detected ONE PRICE Pay once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no watermarks, no page limits. Recognized text can contain mistakes. Please check it before relying on it for legal, financial, or medical purposes.
