Do you have any plan in your roadmap to support different languages in the OCR feature? I'm specifically interested in recognize and processing PDF files written in Japanese and Korean.

I am also dealing with some clients that are struggling with processing handwriting in their document, but I guess it will be a little far fetched.

This is the list of supported languages: https://pspdfkit.com/api/pdf-ocr-api/#supported_languages

At the moment we don’t include Japanese and Korean, but I’ll take a note around your questions.

Handwriting is definitely a different beast, that’s not supported.

Thanks. I have been dealing with ton of headache from my projects since modifying PDFs can be very problematic. Rather than stitching up multiple libraries, I would rather suggest one platform to handle everything.

Will definitely keep this in mind until it meet my requirements. Is there a mailing list I can sign up for?
