Find Words in Scans
SilentBox reads the text in your documents, so you can search for a word inside them and copy it out.
When you scan a document, SilentBox reads the text on every page by itself. For a photo of a document or a PDF you added some other way, ask for it:
- In the album, touch and hold the item's thumbnail.
- Tap Extract Text.
An item whose text has been read has a small brass badge in the bottom-right corner of its thumbnail, and its Details say Text recognized and searchable. From then on, search finds it by the words inside.
To read the text, open the item and tap Text at the top left. Recognized Text shows it as plain text that you can select and copy.
TipFor a PDF, Extract Text takes the text the PDF already contains. A PDF that is only pictures of pages has none to take, so scan paper documents with SilentBox instead.
NoteText is read on your iPhoneiPad; nothing is sent anywhere. The text is encrypted along with the item. SilentBox recognizes English, German, Polish and Czech.
