Read this guideStart with the source
Better image text extraction begins with the source
Use a sharp original, correct the rotation, crop unrelated content, choose the matching language, and test moderate contrast. These steps often matter more than repeatedly processing the same unclear image.

Finish with review
A confidence score is not proof
A high confidence estimate can still hide errors in names, dates, currency values, punctuation, reference numbers, and similar character shapes.
