Tips for Best OCR Results

  • Use high-resolution images: The clearer the text in the image, the more accurate the extraction.
  • Ensure good contrast: Dark text on a light background works best.
  • Select the correct language: Choosing the right language significantly improves accuracy.
  • Avoid complex backgrounds: Solid backgrounds give better results than patterned or noisy ones.
  • Straighten skewed text: Rotated or skewed text may reduce accuracy.
