Best Practices for Optimal Results

For the best OCR accuracy with scanned documents, ensure your source files have:

Minimum 300 DPI resolution for clear text recognition
Good contrast between text and background
Straight, properly aligned pages (enable preprocessing for skewed images)
Clear, standard fonts (highly stylized or decorative fonts may reduce accuracy)

Our tool supports multiple languages for OCR, making it suitable for international documents. Simply select the appropriate language from the options before conversion to improve text recognition accuracy.
