Important tips for OCR

Make sure your document is flat and well lit. Hold your iPhone still while shooting.

On iPhone 4 force the flash On.

Always scan in “SureScan 3x” mode.

For iPhone 3G or earlier model, you must hold it at least 10-12 inches away from the document..

Make sure your iPhone's camera window is clean.

For letter-sized documents (8½ x 11 or A4), text size must be at least 12 points. For smaller text sizes try splitting the document into multiple parts (this works for 3GS or iPhone 4 only).

Glossy paper may not work well (avoid glare, including glare from LED flash).

When scanning books keep the pages as flat as possible and your iPhone parallel to the surface.

Perfect OCR cannot recognize tables correctly. Very large, underlined or handwritten text cannot be recognized either.

Make sure to select the right language for OCR in app settings.

• Note that OCR quality does not depend on your brightness or color selection.
