Tips for Better Russian OCR Results
Use Clear Images
Higher resolution images with good lighting produce better Russian text recognition. Avoid blurry or dark photos.
Crop to Text Area
Crop your image to show only the Russian text area. Removing background clutter improves accuracy significantly.
Straight Alignment
Text that's straight and horizontal is recognized more accurately than tilted or curved Russian text.
Select Correct Language
Always select Russian as the OCR language before extraction. This tells the engine which script to expect and improves accuracy.
