Make your scans and pictures searchable with text recognition (OCR)

Pictures and scans are most of the time 'pictures' that are not searchable, while most of the time these 'pictures' contain very useful information to use now or later. So it would be very helpful when you could find the text in these pictures and scans. By using the text recognition function of PDFen, you could scan the text of these 'pictures' and PDFen will add the text to the PDF. In this way, you could easily find these scans and pictures by their text with your search functions (e.g. Windows)
