Pro Tips for Best Results

Use High-Resolution Images

For best OCR results, use images with at least 300 DPI resolution. Higher resolution means clearer text and more accurate character recognition. Avoid heavily compressed or pixelated images.

Ensure Good Lighting & Contrast

When photographing documents, ensure even lighting without shadows or glare. High contrast between text and background significantly improves recognition accuracy.

Select the Correct Language

Always select the appropriate language before extraction. For documents with multiple languages, choose the primary language for best results. This helps the OCR engine use the correct character sets.

Straighten Skewed Images

Try to keep documents as straight as possible. While our OCR can handle slight skewing, perfectly aligned text produces more accurate results. Use your phone's document scanning mode for best alignment.
