Questions
OCR PDF FAQ
What affects OCR accuracy?
Clear high-resolution scans, straight pages, readable fonts, and the correct language produce better results than blurred, skewed, or low-contrast images.
Do I need to install software for OCR PDF?
No. TapScanner runs in a modern web browser, so you can upload, process, and download the result without installing desktop software.
