What to expect from OCR programs
OCR programs convert some text more accurately than other text.
Because OCR technology is never perfect, proofread all converted text
carefully to ensure the characters have been correctly interpreted.
These types of text convert most accurately:
● text in standard fonts
● text in 9-point font or larger
● crisp, clear text
● black text on a white background
These types of text might convert less accurately:
● text close to non-text elements, such as bullets, lines, or graphics
● text in spreadsheets, tables, or forms
● letters that have gaps, that “bleed” along their edges, or that touch
other letters
● underlined text
● text on colored paper
Handwriting cannot be converted.
