  Check the recognition language

  First, check the recognition language. If no language parameter is specified, the recognition will be performed using English dictionary and character set. If your documents are in other language or contain a mixture of languages, you need to specify them explicitly using language parameter. There is a possibility to specify more than one language in comma-separated list

  processImage?language=Italian,English

  processImage?language=Greek&exportFormat=txt

  The full list of supported languages is here

  Handwritten and handprinted text

  Although OCR is able to recognize handwritten text, the best results are obtained if you know the text region in advance and use field-level API with processTextField.

  Camera shots

  Better lighting conditions

  The higher quality you original image is, the better recognition results you'll get. If your images are obtained with a phone camera, try to shot in good lightning conditions, make sure no flash is visible on a shot.

  Narrow the search region for the text

  If you have a camera that contains little text and much of surrounding environment, the results are unpredictible. If you are taking the pictures, make sure that text occupies large part of resulting image.
