What is OCR?
OCR software analyses the shapes in an image and attempts to recognise letters, numbers and words. It is useful for printed notices, forms, book pages and scanned documents. OCR is not a perfect copy process: low resolution, unusual fonts, shadows, handwriting and mixed scripts can cause recognition errors.
Prepare an image for better recognition
- Use a sharp image with readable text and enough light.
- Keep the page straight and avoid perspective distortion.
- Crop out unrelated background while keeping punctuation and line endings.
- Choose an image where text contrasts clearly with the background.
- For Hindi and English on the same page, select a combined language option when available.
Accuracy tip: A clear, high-resolution printed page is usually easier to recognise than a blurred photo or handwriting. Always proofread names, dates, amounts and official identifiers.
