Tips for better scanning results
A well captured page makes a big difference in how cleanly handwritten content can be processed.
- Keep the page flat and hold the camera directly above it for a cleaner capture.
- Use even lighting and avoid shadows or glare across the document.
- For small or dense handwriting, move closer so the page fills more of the frame.
- Sharper scans usually help with difficult handwriting or faint ink.
- For multi page documents, combine your scans into one PDF before uploading.
