Why JPG Photos Need Careful OCR Review

A phone photo or JPEG scan contains pixels rather than selectable text.

Lighting, perspective, compression, and blur can affect JPG to text recognition.

Uneven Lighting
Glare, shadows, and dark corners can hide characters.
Angled Pages
Perspective distortion and curved pages can make lines harder to follow.
JPEG Artifacts
Strong compression can blur thin strokes and similar characters.
