Best Practices for Accurate Text Extraction:

  • Use clear, high-resolution images - Better image quality leads to better text recognition
  • Ensure good contrast - Dark text on light background works best
  • Avoid skewed or rotated images - Straighten images before processing for best results
  • Select the correct language - Choosing the right language significantly improves accuracy
  • Use printed text - OCR works best with printed or typed text rather than handwriting
