About OCR software

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that recognizes letters in a scanned image and converts them into ASCII characters, or editable text. 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:

ltext in standard fonts

ltext in 9-point font or larger

lcrisp, clear text

lblack text on a white background

These types of text might convert less accurately:

ltext close to non-text elements, such as bullets, lines, or graphics

ltext in spreadsheets, tables, or forms

lletters that have gaps, that “bleed” along their edges, or that touch other letters

lunderlined text

ltext on colored paper

Note

Handwriting cannot be converted.
