Always Zoom scan a selection area you want to convert to text, then adjust the position and size of the selection area to be sure it contains all the characters you want to convert.

The text in the selection area is displayed at a low resolution and may not appear readable, even after a Zoom scan.

During the final scan when you drag-and- drop, copy, or save the selection area, the text will be scanned at a higher resolution before it is converted to editable text.
