Inklight started because every OCR tool I could hand to a law office or a tax practice wanted the files first: upload them, get a PDF back, trust the vendor with the client's paperwork. For most of the people I talked to that was not an option, and the alternative was a scanner bundle from 2012 that made a searchable PDF and then asked them to proofread the whole thing. So Inklight does the opposite. Recognition runs on your own Windows or Linux PC, on the CPU or on the graphics card, and nothing leaves the machine. The part I spent the most time on is the Check pass: instead of showing you every word, it scores each one and outlines only the ones worth a second look, a number, a word two readers disagreed on, an IBAN whose checksum fails. You accept or fix those with a keystroke and the PDF is rewritten. The original pages, fonts and signatures stay exactly as they were, with the text layer underneath. It is a one-person company and I answer the support mailbox myself. The lifetime licence on AppSumo is the same Personal licence I sell on the site: one user, up to three devices, every release included. Next on the list are more languages for the Check pass and better handling of mixed scan batches; if you buy and something reads wrong, send me the page and I will look at it.
