The quality of your source image has a big effect on recognized text. A sharp, well-lit, straight image gives the OCR engine the best chance to read each character correctly.

Even with a good image, it is smart to read through the output before you use it.

OCR accuracy can vary depending on image quality, text clarity, font, and image conditions.
