What to expect from OCR programs
Optical character recognition 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.
