Does OCR work with multilingual scanned PDFs?
AlgoOCR detects supported languages automatically, including documents that mix Hindi, Marathi, and English text.
Will paragraphs, lists, and tables be preserved?
AlgoOCR uses detected document structure to represent paragraphs, lists, and tables where possible. Complex layouts may still need review.

Will the Word document look exactly like the source?
Word keeps editable content and detected structure, but fixed layout, spacing, typography, and positioned elements may be represented differently.
