Why the download is not active yet: independent installer Round 2 passed every internal engineering gate. Public distribution remains held because the installer and main EXE do not yet carry a trusted Authenticode signature. The 30-day launch clock has not started.

Recognition is only the beginning
Inspect the result, correct the structure, then reuse it.
One page→region→line→word model keeps corrected text, geometry, reading order, and tables consistent across editable, structured, searchable, and archival output.
Review words in context
Click recognized text to locate it on the page, show word boxes, and step through low-confidence words with an explained score.
Repair layout and tables
Correct region type, boundary, reading order, lines, and table structure before the same document model reaches every export.
Clean difficult captures
Compare enhancement, deskew, perspective correction, crop, grayscale, black-and-white, denoise, DPI, and quality settings before recognition.
Export useful documents
Create TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, TSV, JSON, RTF, DOCX, XLSX, hOCR, ALTO XML, searchable PDF, and tagged PDF/A-3u.
Resume and automate
Save a complete .uvocr project, batch folders, monitor an inbox, schedule a job, select page ranges, or run the same workflow from the CLI.
A review-first OCR workflow
Do not hide uncertainty behind one export button.
Recognition accuracy depends on the installed language resource and the input. UtiliVera keeps the page, word boxes, confidence evidence, corrected text, and layout together so users can verify what matters before export.
- Partial results survive cancellation and failed files remain isolated.
- A digital PDF can be copied byte-for-byte when no raster OCR is needed.
- Project files embed the review state instead of relying on a fragile cache.
- Outputs are written atomically so a failed job does not replace a good file.

What to know before release.
The product and internal installer engineering passed. Trusted signing is still required before the first public binary.
Is UtiliVera OCR free?+
Yes. Version 0.7.0 is freeware for personal, educational, nonprofit, and commercial work.
Are documents uploaded?+
No. Recognition, review, project storage, preprocessing, and export run on the Windows PC.
Which recognition languages work?+
The app lists OCR language resources installed in Windows. Its interface itself supports ten languages and follows the system language on first launch.
Can it create searchable PDFs?+
Yes. It creates searchable PDF and tagged PDF/A-3u, and it can copy an untouched digital PDF when OCR would only reduce fidelity.
Why can I not download it yet?+
The final candidate is withheld until its installer and main EXE have a valid trusted Authenticode signature.
