Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want to remove an OCR layer?

Stripping OCR removes faulty text layers, inaccurate machine read metadata, or corrupted text overlays before performing fresh high accuracy OCR or securing scanned records against bad search matches.

How does DocScalar safeguard confidential scanned records during un OCR processing?

Documents are processed in isolated transient memory buffers over TLS 1.3 and wiped immediately post download with zero permanent disk storage, cloud staging, or analytics logging.

What is the file size limit for stripping OCR text layers?

DocScalar supports files up to 10 MB in instant guest mode with zero registration required, 15 MB for registered free accounts, and up to 1 GB for Pro tier users. All processing executes in isolated memory buffers with zero data retention.

Are the underlying visual images modified?

No. The underlying visual scans, photographic contrast, and page geometry remain completely intact; only the invisible text layer and associated font descriptors are excised.
