DripOCR turns PDFs and images into editable documents using on-device OCR. Rather than simply arranging recognized characters, it preserves document structure such as headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables whenever possible, making the result easier to review and reuse. Key Features • Import PDFs and common image formats • Queue additional documents while processing • Compare the source document and recognized text side by side • Review characters and tables that may need attention • Edit Markdown directly • Export as Markdown or Word (.docx) • Keep images in the document • Reopen, edit, and delete results from history Processed on Your Device Text recognition, document organization, and history storage are performed on your iPhone or iPad. Imported documents are not sent to our servers or third-party servers. No account or proprietary cloud sync is required. DripOCR is designed for printed documents, forms, tables, financial statements, invoices, and similar materials. Complex tables, vertical text, formulas, handwriting, or photos with strong glare or curvature may require review and correction.
