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:
l
text in standard fonts
l
text in 9-point font or larger
l
crisp, clear text
l
black text on a white background
These types of text might convert less accurately:
l
text close to non-text elements, such as bullets, lines, or graphics
l
text in spreadsheets, tables, or forms
l
letters that have gaps, that “bleed” along their edges, or that touch
other letters
l
underlined text
l
text on colored paper
Handwriting cannot be converted.
