Tips for Best Results
Follow these recommendations to get the most accurate text extraction
- Use Clear, High-Resolution Images.
- Higher quality images with sharp text produce more accurate results. Aim for at least 300 DPI for scanned documents.
- Ensure Good Contrast.
- Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa) significantly improves OCR accuracy. Avoid low-contrast or faded images.
- Proper Lighting.
- Well-lit images without shadows or glare produce better results. Avoid reflections on glossy surfaces.
- Correct Orientation.
- Make sure text is right-side up and not rotated. Straighten images before uploading for best accuracy.
