I have content from my workbook that I upload onto LingQ to read. However, I've encountered and extremely annoying issue, whenever I copy and paste text from the PDF into a word document, it turns the ك letters into آ and I have to manually change all of them back. As you might imagine, this is a very tedious process. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this issue?

I copy a lot of Arabic stuff from PDF books and paste it on the Note taking apps. I find that "Google Keep app" and " Memo Widget app" work better than when I try pasting onto the Google Docs app.
I find that using Screen Capture on my phone works best. I then open Google Photos and then click on Google Lens, then it highlights the text to copy words, sentences, everything. Google Lens also holds the format better than other OCR.
(If you use a computer you will need to find an Screenshot app, OCR app and try a note taking app such as Google Keep.)
Thanks, I'll try that. Does it get all the words right? I've tried another program that extracts text from pics but some of the text would be completely different words so I still had to go through the tedious effort of correcting it all.
Google Lens OCR is probably 95% accurate at capturing the text. It keeps the format of the stuff copied but all these OCR have a problem with Arabic script. Spelling errors.
I tried using OCR to convert a PDF book to a text format. I screen captured half the book but then pasting the text onto Google Keep I saw spelling errors.
I now just copy stuff to Anki. No more trying to get a PDF book converted to Kindle format.
