Share exported OCR text only after reviewing the result

PureHub — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:21:57 +0000

Reviewing OCR Output Before Sharing

When you capture a document with PureHub’s OCR + PDF Suite, the raw text extraction can include mis‑recognitions—especially with mixed languages or low‑contrast scans. Sharing that text directly may propagate errors.

A practical workflow

After scanning, tap Preview to open the extracted text.
Scan the content for obvious mistakes (e.g., missing characters, wrong diacritics).
Use the inline editor to correct any issues.
Press Export to generate a clean, searchable text file.

This approach keeps the sharing step intentional and ensures the exported document reflects what you actually see.

Feedback request: Which in‑app shortcut (e.g., a one‑tap “Accept All” or a spell‑check toggle) would make the review process faster for you?

Android beta: delete one saved OCR document and its local page images together

PureHub — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:21:59 +0000

Android beta: One‑tap delete for OCR documents and their images

Users reported that deleting an OCR document left the page‑image files behind, cluttering internal storage. In the latest Android beta the delete button now removes the document and all its locally cached page images.

How it works

Open the OCR + PDF Document Suite.
Long‑press the document you want to discard.
Tap the trash‑can icon and confirm the prompt.

The app traverses the document’s metadata, gathers the associated image files, and deletes them in a single transaction, keeping storage tidy.

Why this matters for developers

When persisting scanned pages you typically store a database record pointing to image files on disk. Implementing a cascade‑delete (or a manual cleanup loop) ensures no orphaned files remain after the record is removed. This pattern reduces storage bloat and simplifies backup/restore logic.

Give it a try – download the Android beta: https://hub.blissbiovn.com/en/download?utm_source=devto&utm_campaign=private-ocr-30d-v1-ocr-text

Did the one‑step cleanup behave as expected on your device?

Create a searchable PDF from OCR pages on the phone

PureHub — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:21:59 +0000

Turning Phone‑Captured Images into Searchable PDFs with PureHub

PureHub’s OCR + PDF Document Suite lets Android users turn photographed pages into a single searchable PDF without leaving the device.

How it works

Capture – Use the built‑in camera button to take each page. The app stores the full‑resolution image.
OCR – When you tap Run OCR, PureHub loads the appropriate language pack on demand (English, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese) and extracts text locally, keeping your data private.
Perspective review – A four‑corner overlay lets you correct any skew before the text is locked in.
Export – Press Create PDF; the app stitches the images and embeds the extracted text using Android’s PdfDocument API, producing a searchable PDF you can share.

Why this matters

No cloud upload → full privacy.
Offline language packs keep the app lightweight.
Searchable PDFs make revisiting notes, receipts, or contracts fast and reliable.

Give it a try and let us know how the searchable PDF works for you: https://hub.blissbiovn.com/en/ocr-text?utm_source=devto&utm_campaign=private-ocr-30d-v1-ocr-text

Batch OCR with PureHub’s Mini‑App

PureHub — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:22:00 +0000

Batch OCR with PureHub’s Mini‑App

PureHub’s OCR suite (one of 26 free, open‑source mini‑apps) now supports scanning up to 20 images from the gallery in one batch. This feature is handy when you have multi‑page documents photographed on Android.

How it works

Language packs on demand – The app loads English, Vietnamese or Simplified Chinese packs only when needed, keeping the download size small.
Batch queue – Selected images are placed in a queue; each image is fed to the OCR engine sequentially, and the resulting text is stored alongside the original picture.
Result handling – After processing, PureHub returns a searchable text file per page and a combined PDF if you wish.

Practical tip

When processing mixed‑language documents, pre‑select the appropriate language pack for each batch to avoid unnecessary re‑loading. The queue runs asynchronously, so the UI stays responsive even for 20 pages.

Try it

Open the OCR mini‑app, tap the gallery icon, choose up to 20 photos, and press Start OCR. The batch finishes in seconds and you can export the text.

What’s your experience with batch OCR performance on low‑end Android devices? Share feedback.
