The Quick Route

Improve The Source → Test A Sample → Review The Output.

Follow The Steps

  1. 1

    Improve The Source

    Use straight pages, even light and enough detail for small letters. Avoid strong shadows, glare and cropped text.

  2. 2

    Test A Sample

    Run OCR on one page first. Review names, numbers, columns and punctuation before processing a large group.

  3. 3

    Review The Output

    Compare important passages against the original and correct errors in your text editor. Keep the source scan for reference.

Before You Finish

No universal accuracy percentage applies to every document. Handwriting, low-resolution images and complex tables can require substantial manual review.
