Scanned PDFs & OCR Conversion FAQ
How does LedgerParse AI detect a scanned PDF?
It runs pdf.js text extraction first. If a PDF has little or no selectable text, it automatically renders pages to an offscreen HTML5 canvas and switches to Vision mode.
Do I need an API key for scanned image PDFs?
Yes: multimodal OCR requires your own Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic API key. Free Demo heuristic mode works on text-selectable PDFs and sample docs.
Which multimodal model is best for messy scans?
Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-4o-mini both excel at skewed tables, stamps, and low-contrast thermal receipts.
How many pages per scanned PDF are processed?
Up to 10 pages per scanned PDF are rendered at high resolution in browser memory to balance OCR sharpness and API payload limits.
