No other OCR tool for Mac is as simple, easy, or affordable as Elucidate. 

Just drag and drop a scanned PDF over Elucidate, and a fully-searchable one is created in its place through the power of optical character recognition (OCR). Using your PDF editor of choice, you can highlight text, define words, use built-in text-to-speech functionality, and make comments.

The app is faster than ever. Elucidate will even separate pages from face-down book scans and output raw text files (enable in Preferences).

*Please note that Elucidate, like other OCR tools, is designed for high quality black-and-white scans of text. Photos taken on a phone may not work.

Release notes:
• Bug Fixes
• Performance Improvements
• On the newest versions of macOS, OCR support for Cantonese (simplified & traditional), Korean, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian
