Text difficult to recognize
The quality of the text in your original document greatly effects
OCR results.
The following types of originals can make recognition difficult
and should be avoided if possible:
❏ Items that have been copied from other copies
❏ Faxes
❏ Text with tightly-spaced characters or line pitch
❏ Text that is in tables or underlined
❏ Cursive or italic fonts, and font sizes less than 8 points
Remember that OCR software cannot recognize handwritten
characters.
