OCR document converter service

IT's document converter service automatically converts image-based electronic documents into text-based electronic documents. The conversion process turns inaccessible scanned images into accessible and searchable documents.

Optical character recognition (OCR) conversion is done using ABBYY Recognition Server. 

How to request the service

Send an email message to convertdoc@umontana.edu from a University of Montana email account with the document you want converted attached. You should receive a return email with your converted document in text-based PDF format attached within a few minutes.

Who can use the service

The document conversion service is available to all UM students and employees. You must use a UM email address to access the service.
