Tamil PDF and image to text — Content Factory

A scanned Tamil PDF is a picture of text: you cannot search it, copy it or edit it. Many older "text" PDFs are no better, because they were typed in non-Unicode fonts and turn into garbage when copied. Content Factory converts both kinds into clean Unicode Tamil, checked page by page by native Tamil readers.

What you receive

The handover

Verified text

Every page checked by a native Tamil reader against the original image before it leaves the studio.

Your format

Word, searchable PDF, Excel, plain text, JSON or XML, with file names and folders matching your originals.

Query log

Words that cannot be read with certainty are flagged, not guessed, so you know exactly where to look.

Confidentiality

NDA before files are sent. Your documents are deleted from our systems on request after delivery.

What it costs

Published starting prices, per page

Every price below includes human verification by a native Tamil reader. The final per-page figure is fixed in writing after your free ten-page sample, because print quality and handwriting change the effort. Volume above 10,000 pages is priced lower.

What we handle

Scans, photos and broken-font PDFs

Image-only PDFs

Scanner output and faxed documents converted to Word or to a searchable PDF that keeps the original page image with a Tamil text layer.

Phone photos

Skewed, shadowed or curled pages straightened and cleaned before recognition.

Legacy font PDFs

Documents set in Bamini, TAM, TAB, TSCII and similar pre-Unicode fonts converted to standard Unicode Tamil.

Mixed Tamil and English

Bilingual reports and forms with both scripts on one line kept in the right order.

Where machine OCR fails

What our readers correct

Pulli dots

The dot that marks a pure consonant is often lost on poor scans, turning க் into க. Readers restore it against the image.

Split vowel signs

Signs such as ெ and ை sit to the left of the consonant and are frequently read as separate letters.

Grantha letters

ஜ, ஷ, ஸ, ஹ and ஸ்ரீ are commonly confused with each other or dropped.

Numbers and tables

Figures, dates and table cells are checked separately, since a single wrong digit matters more than a wrong letter.

How it works

Ten pages free, then a fixed price

1 · A free sample

Send ten representative pages. Content Factory runs them and returns the Tamil text with an accuracy note, so you judge the output before committing to volume.

2 · Scope and price

A per-page figure fixed in writing, based on what the sample showed: print quality, old script forms, handwriting, tables.

3 · Machine pass

Pages are cleaned, deskewed and run through Tamil-trained recognition, with mixed Tamil-English lines and Grantha letters handled.

4 · Human verification

Native Tamil readers check every page against the image, restoring dropped pulli marks, split vowel signs and misread ligatures.

5 · Delivery

Unicode Tamil in Word, searchable PDF, Excel, plain text or JSON, in the structure you need. Your files are deleted from our systems on request.

Questions we are asked

Frequently asked

Can you make my scanned Tamil PDF searchable?

Yes. We deliver a searchable PDF that keeps the original page image with an invisible, verified Unicode Tamil text layer, or a separate editable Word file.

My PDF shows strange characters when I copy the Tamil. Can you fix it?

Yes. That PDF was typed in a legacy Tamil font. We convert it to standard Unicode Tamil and check the result.

Can I send phone photos?

Yes, as long as the text is readable to the eye. The free sample will show what accuracy to expect.

How is it priced?

Per page, fixed in writing after the free ten-page sample. See the price table on this page.
