Description

Tessa extracts text from your image or PDF documents, processing each page multiple times to optimize recognition, so that the time you spend in proofreading and correcting mistakes is minimized.

The editing tools available in the app allow you to modify pages before they are processed so that you can whiten out unneeded areas and limit recognition to a specific part of your page

While the basic version of the app limits recognition to one page at a time, a single in-app upgrade to premium unlocks the ability to process multiple pages in a single go.
Upgrading to premium also removes ads.

Tessa comes with support for multiple languages.

The following languages are currently available:
English
Afrikaans
Cherokee
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Inuktitut
Italian
Norwegian
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
Turkish

Tessa processes each page multiple times to improve recognition results, however, please note that the output depends on the input quality and even in the best of scenarios, should still be proofread for corrections.

Tessa works well with documents printed using commonly used fonts and does not do well with handwritten documents or those using ornamental or other fancy fonts.

Works well, & responsive developer!

I have to work on large PDFs many parts of which are unsearchable pages becasue they are scanned in and then added to the PDF.

I need to search for key words and phrases, and then refer to them using the original pagination. Tessa did a great job of the OCR, but the text only output meant I could find keywords, but not easily locate them in the original PDF.

I requested the developer consider an output which retains the original pagination - AND LO! It happened!! Thanks gents 👏🏽 You can now output as a PDF retaining the original pagination.

I now take the new paginated OCR PDF and the original PDF, and use an automater function to interleave the two documents leaving me with a completely searchable PDF, and where each OCR page immediately follows the original page.

Fantastic product, well worth the ‘premium’ cost.

It just works

Fantastic product, does what it says, super easy to use. Maybe the start button could be made a little more explicit. Other than that, fantastic work. Saved me hours of typing!
