PDF Evidence OCR is designed for structured evidence work where the evidence cannot be analysed by PGAT. Upload a PDF document using the UI, which then converts into a document that can be analysed.

Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, the software converts the PDF image containing text into machine-readable, and searchable text. This process works by breaking down the image and analyzing the visual patterns of letters, numbers, and symbols, converting them into digital characters.

What it produces
  • PDF transcript (print-ready)
  • Plain text transcript (for search / PGAT analysis)
Typical use
  • Capture committee reasoning and key exchanges
  • Support complaints, representations, FOI follow-up, and governance analysis
  • Reduce time spent re-creating text based document
Platform Windows
Outputs PDF, TXT
