Best Practices for Optimal Results
Follow these tips to get the most accurate OCR results
Use High-Quality Scans
For best results, scan documents at 300 DPI or higher. Higher resolution provides better accuracy, especially for small text.
Ensure Good Lighting
When photographing documents, use even lighting without shadows or glare. Natural light works best for mobile phone captures.
Keep Documents Flat
Avoid curved or warped documents when possible. Flat documents with minimal distortion yield the most accurate results.
Clear Text Preferred
While our AI handles handwriting, printed text provides the highest accuracy. Ensure text is clearly legible in the original.
