6. 2 DEFINITION
By definition, renderable text is the content of the text
that is editable, searchable, and recognized
by the computer. It is machine-readable meaning
that the text is seen by the computer as characters and
not just dots on the screen that make up an image.
When you create a document from common
applications like Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and export
it to PDF, the content that the PDF has is considered
“renderable.”

In other terms, you can also consider this as
“searchable text” which
basically means that you can find words or phrases
within the document when you use the search
feature. You won’t need to manually read everything
to find a keyword, you can just click CTRL+F and
enter the word.

Scanned images and documents
aren’t all renderable text because

Yes, of course! Without the OCR tool online, you can convert
your images and scanned files into renderable text files –
providing you with two output options. First is the PDF files
with searchable content and the second is the .txt file that
contains text-only content, which can be opened with
applications like notepad. Once you’ve converted your
document with our OCR tool, you will be able to get a fully
editable copy of the file in PDF format or text format.

Can a photograph of a
handwritten message
into renderable text?
OCR tools will try and recognize letters, numbers, and
characters according to its program however since this is
still software implemented by a machine, its talents are
limited to a certain degree which therefore does not
provide a completely perfect output. In some cases,
handwritten letters and documents can be converted and
successfully reads content. However, if the handwriting is
too blurry or scripted, the OCR tool may have difficulty
trying to convert it.

In another term used when content
cannot be recognized by the OCR tool. It
may be a “suspect” that it was not
recognized correctly or not recognized at
all. This is caused by the resolution or
clarity of the original material. Whatever
the quality of the original affects the
output.
