Manual baseline 50-99m

Estimated page-by-page checking time for the same scanned batch, from a very fast skim to a careful realistic pass.

Includes opening the PDF, preparing pages, OCR, matching 10 values and extracting the results.

Search result 10 / 10

All 10 exact values were found across the 902-page scanned test batch.

Time saved 47m+

Against the fastest manual estimate, before considering upload/download loops or switching tools.

Open PDF 0.29s

Read the 902-page PDF and page count.

OCR warm-up 1.6s

Prepare the local OCR workers.

Render + OCR 145s

Prepare and OCR all 902 scanned pages.

Extract results 2.9s

Save the 10 matching pages into a new PDF.

Benchmark used a 902-page, 25.8 MB scanned PDF on a Windows 11 laptop with a Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU and 16 GB RAM. Manual timings are estimates based on page-by-page visual checking because scanned PDFs cannot usually be searched in a normal viewer until OCR has been applied. Results vary by PDF size, scan quality, machine speed, selected search area and how carefully a person would need to check.

Turn scanned tables into useful data.

Select the table you need and export it into a clean Excel sheet. Word, JPG, PNG and searchable PDF are available from the same conversion menu.
