What changes

  • HEIC/HEIF is rasterized or read page-by-page and AI Deep Read produces HTML text for heic-to-html.
  • AI Deep Read uses 1 credit per page and is not available anonymously; sign in and see /pricing for credit packs.
  • The organization-configurable model transcribes visible text, headings, lists, forms, checkboxes, captions, and tables in reading order.
  • OCR does not recover hidden text layers, passwords, redacted content, embedded files, comments, or document metadata.
  • HTML output favors clean semantic text over exact visual positioning.
  • Illegible regions are marked instead of invented; scans, handwriting, skew, and low contrast affect accuracy.
