Scanned Documents tips
For multi-page scans, run each page separately. The .txt download per page can then be combined.
Best results: documents with good contrast (dark text on light background), printed (not handwritten), with clean fonts.
For receipts (often crumpled, light prints), increase image contrast in any photo editor before uploading. Tesseract works much better on high-contrast input.
Tesseract is comparable to many paid OCR services for printed text. For handwriting, paid AI-based services (Google Vision, AWS Textract) still beat it.
