2. For Physical Documents, Pay Attention to Shooting Techniques
If you use a camera to photograph physical documents before processing them with OCR, follow these guidelines for best results:
- Take the photo from a straight angle (90 degrees). Avoid angled corners, as they can distort the shape of the letters.
- Place the document on a flat, stable surface. A plain table is the best option so that the background does not distract.
- Avoid shadows or light reflections. Place the light source from the side or top so as not to create hand shadows or light reflections.

3. If the Text Doesn’t Read Well, Try This Solution
Some text may be difficult to recognize, especially if it is small in size or low in resolution. Here are some repair steps you can take:
- Zoom in on the screenshot area because the larger the font size captured, the easier it will be for the OCR system to recognize it.
- Use the Rectangular Snip mode. This mode allows you to select areas precisely so you can focus on text only without background distractions.
- Recapture images with a better camera or improve the quality of the source files.
