Paxton Launches Optical Character Recognition!

Paxton can scan hundreds of documents in seconds.

New: Paxton Can Now Read Scanned PDFs

Scanned documents like medical records, contracts, and court filings often contain key information—but until now, Paxton couldn’t read them if the text was embedded in an image.

That changes today.

We’ve added built-in OCR (optical character recognition) to Paxton. Now, when you upload a scanned PDF or image-based file, Paxton will automatically detect and extract the text—making it usable across research, drafting, and summarization.

What You Can Expect

  • Smarter answers from Paxton when scanned documents are part of your workflow
  • Visual citations showing exactly where the referenced text came from
  • No extra tools required—just upload your file and go!
  • Searchable—you can then pull specific information from your documents, search for instances of an item, and more!

This update works automatically for all supported file types. Just drag, drop, and let Paxton do the rest. See it in action below!
