Orihako PDF

Proofread (repeats, mixed spellings)

Checks the PDF's text for typos in set phrases, wrong kanji of the same reading, two spellings of one word, repeated words, weekdays that do not match their date, mixed punctuation, stray full-width letters and unclosed brackets, and lists them by page and line (HTML and CSV). A scan is read from its picture first. The PDF is not changed.

How to use it

  1. Drop one PDF. A scan or a photo saved as a PDF is fine: its words are read from the page first (the reading data is downloaded once, after you agree).
  2. It starts as soon as the file is in: each page's text is read and checked against the rules.
  3. Open the list (HTML) and fix the original.
