FAQ

Questions before you try it?

Answers about accuracy, pricing, security, and this workflow.

How accurate is BlazeDocs OCR?+

BlazeDocs uses Mistral AI OCR and preserves reading order, headings, tables, formulas, and lists. Clean text PDFs are near-perfect; difficult scans typically exceed 95% character accuracy.

How does BlazeDocs pricing work?+

The free plan includes three uploads per month with the first five pages of each file. Paid plans start at $9.99 per month for 500 pages, with API plans for production volume.

Are uploaded documents private?+

Documents are processed securely and are not used to train models. PDFs are handled in memory rather than permanently stored; review the security and privacy pages for current controls.

Are equations preserved as LaTeX?+

Mathematical expressions are retained as LaTeX where OCR can identify them clearly, making the output suitable for Markdown editors and technical workflows.

Can I import the result into Obsidian?+

Yes. Download the .md file or copy the output into an Obsidian vault; the heading hierarchy, tables, and formulas use standard Markdown conventions.
