Pro Tips
Use high-resolution images for best results
OCR accuracy improves significantly with higher resolution. Aim for at least 300 DPI for scanned documents.
Ensure good contrast between text and background
Dark text on a light background produces the best OCR results. Avoid photos with shadows or uneven lighting.
Keep images straight and well-cropped
Rotated or skewed text reduces accuracy. Straighten your document before scanning or photographing it.
Select the correct language
Always choose the language that matches the text in your document. Multi-language documents may need separate passes.
For handwriting, write clearly and space letters
Handwriting OCR works best with clear, well-separated characters. Print-style handwriting is easier to recognize than cursive.
