FastOCR for Mac now keeps headings and pictures in Word and Markdown
Word and Markdown files from the Mac app now keep headings, pictures, equations and captions, and move running heads into the Word header. Still offline.
Headings and pictures, on your Mac
The Mac app used to save every line of the page as plain text in one size, with no pictures. Now Word and Markdown keep the page structure. Headings are real headings, pictures are placed where they sit on the page (scans too), equations and captions stay, and running heads move into the Word header. Still offline.
Nothing leaves your Mac
The page is analysed on your Mac and your document is never uploaded. The first time, the app downloads a one-time 171 MB layout model in the background. After that it works fully offline.
What you need
Headings and pictures need a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later. On Intel Macs and macOS 13 the app still runs and saves Word and Markdown exactly as before.
Your text does not change
No text is lost, and tables stay as they were. On our test pages the first save waited about 2 seconds for a short document and 4 seconds for 10 pages.
What stays the same
TXT and searchable PDF
These files are unchanged.
Tables
Tables stay real tables.
