Questions, answered.
What the app can convert, what stays local and where a little checking helps.
All questionsIs Free OCR to Word really free?
Yes. Version 8.1.0 is free to download and use, including Word layout export with pictures and editable tables. There is no paid unlock for those features.
Can a scanned PDF keep its pictures and tables in Word?
Yes. The default layout export keeps positioned text and picture regions, and converts regular table grids into editable Word cells. Review the result beside the source and use the picture or table tools when an area needs correction.
Can I convert JPG and PNG images to Word?
Yes. Import a clear document image, run recognition and review its layout. Save DOCX to keep pictures and editable table cells, or use TXT when you only need the wording.
Does it work offline?
English OCR uses the included model and processes documents locally after setup. If a required Microsoft runtime is missing, Setup may need the internet to install it. Optional language models are downloaded separately.
Will every page look exactly like the original?
Layout export retains text placement, detected font styling, pictures and table structure. OCR and font matching are estimates, so difficult scans, unusual fonts, merged cells and complex pages may need corrections. An exact copy of every original is not guaranteed.
Can I correct a missed picture or table?
Yes. Mark the picture area or rebuild the table region in the app, check the layout and export Word again. Compare names, numbers and cell contents with the original before relying on the result.
