About Extract Text from PDF · বিস্তারিত

Extract Text from PDF pulls the words out of a PDF and shows them in a box you can copy from or save as .txt. Digital PDFs are read from their built-in text layer in seconds; scanned or broken-Bangla PDFs are read with Bangla + English OCR.

Sometimes you do not need a converted file at all, just the words: a clause from a contract to paste into an email, a paragraph to quote in an assignment, or a list of names from a result sheet. Selecting text in a PDF viewer is fiddly, especially on a phone, and it often grabs headers and page numbers along the way.

Here the whole document's text appears in one box, grouped under --- Page N --- markers, ready to search with your browser's find, copy in part, or copy in full. A PDF either carries a text layer (made by Word, a website or a typesetting program) or it is a picture of text (a scan). The first kind is read directly; for the second, switch the method to Always OCR.

How to use it · কীভাবে ব্যবহার করবেন

  1. Add the PDF

    Upload the document you want words from.

  2. Pick text layer or OCR

    Auto reads the built-in text and falls back to OCR if Bangla comes out garbled. Choose Always OCR for scans.

  3. Copy what you need

    Select a passage in the result box, or press Copy for everything. Use .txt to keep a file.

When it helps · কখন কাজে লাগে

Quoting in assignments and theses
Copy a paragraph from a journal article or report PDF accurately, then cite it properly.
Taking data out of result sheets and lists
Copy roll numbers, names or figures from a published merit list into a spreadsheet for checking.
Checking whether a PDF is searchable
If text mode returns nothing, the PDF is a scan with no text layer; that tells you OCR or a re-export is needed.

বাংলায়: PDF থেকে লেখা কপি করুন

চুক্তিপত্রের একটা ধারা, অ্যাসাইনমেন্টে উদ্ধৃতি দেওয়ার মতো একটা অনুচ্ছেদ বা মেধাতালিকা থেকে নাম ও রোল নম্বর কপি করতে এই টুল কাজে লাগে। পুরো PDF-এর লেখা একটা বক্সে পেজ ধরে দেখায়, সেখান থেকে দরকারি অংশ সিলেক্ট করে কপি করুন বা সব একসাথে কপি করুন। স্ক্যান করা PDF হলে লেখা আসবে না, তখন "Always OCR" বেছে নিন। বাংলা লেখা ভাঙা এলে টুল নিজেই OCR চালায়।

শুধু পেজ নম্বর এল, কোনো লেখা নেই কেন?

সম্ভবত PDF-টা স্ক্যান করা ছবি, ভেতরে লেখা নেই। "Always OCR" বেছে নিয়ে আবার চালান।

পুরো লেখা না, একটা অংশ কপি করব কীভাবে?

ফলাফলের বক্সে দরকারি অংশটুকু সিলেক্ট করে সাধারণভাবে কপি করুন।

Questions people ask · প্রশ্ন ও উত্তর

Why did I get no text, only page markers?

The PDF is most likely a scan: its pages are images with no text layer. Change the method to Always OCR and run again.

What is a text layer?

It is the actual characters stored inside a PDF made by software such as Word or a website. You can select and search it. Scanned PDFs lack it, which is why they need OCR.

Can I copy just one paragraph?

Yes. Select it in the result box with your mouse or finger and copy as usual. The Copy button copies the whole text.

What is the difference between this and PDF to Text?

They use the same extraction engine. This page is aimed at grabbing and reusing passages; PDF to Text explains converting whole documents and broken Bangla PDFs into .txt files.

Does the PDF leave my device?

No. Both the text reading and the OCR run in your browser. Only the OCR engine's language files are downloaded from shomoy.io the first time.
