OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functions by analyzing text images and converting them to editable format through pattern and shape recognition. Several factors can impact OCR performance: Image clarity and resolution - unclear or low-quality images yield poor results. Typography - decorative or unusual fonts may not be accurately identified. Document state - tilted, rotated, or damaged files can decrease accuracy. Visual interference - complex backgrounds or watermarks can disrupt text recognition. Handwritten content presents particular challenges for OCR systems. For optimal results, use high-resolution, well-illuminated scans with standard, clear typefaces.
