Make scanned PDFs accessible

Coming soon: Mote spots scanned PDFs and adds a real text layer with OCR, so screen readers and Read Aloud work.

Overview

What this Feature Does

Coming soon. Make scanned PDFs accessible detects when a PDF is a scan or is otherwise inaccessible, and prompts you to run OCR. Mote adds an invisible, selectable text layer over the scanned pages so the document can be read aloud, searched, and used with a screen reader — without changing how the page looks.

Why it Matters

  • Scanned worksheets are invisible to screen readers and Read Aloud — OCR makes them accessible
  • Mote flags the problem automatically instead of leaving you to guess why a PDF won't read
  • Turns a static scan into a searchable, selectable, accessible document
