PDF Clair — the browser-local editor for scanned PDFs
A free PDF editor for correcting scanned documents, with OCR, text replacement, stamps, checkboxes, and searchable-text conversion.
Field notes
The described workflow combines visual redaction-style repair with OCR: users can blend a replacement area into a scan, type over it, correct detected words, or duplicate an existing mark elsewhere. The page specifically mentions medical, legal, and personal documents as privacy-sensitive cases, and claims that reading, editing, and recognition all run on the user's machine. It also advertises no registration and no page or hourly-use limit.
