Frequently Asked Questions About Online Calculators
Does it show tracked changes?
No. It compares extracted readable text and does not reproduce Word revision metadata or comments.
Can it compare a scanned document?
Only if the DOCX contains accessible text. Images inside a document are not OCRed by this tool.
Will my original file be changed?
The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Extracted Word text diff.
What should I check before using the result?
Open the Extracted Word text diff in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.
Before downloading the result
Compare the Extracted Word text diff with the original while both are fresh; destinations differ, and a quick check here saves a re-upload later.
