Tips for better OCR accuracy

Use a sharp image with good lighting and minimal shadows.
Keep the text straight and make sure the letters are large enough to read.
Select the correct language; mixed-language documents may work better with a combined option.
For handwritten text, complex tables or very low-quality scans, the output may need substantial correction.

Does this OCR tool require a paid API?

No paid OCR API key is needed. DebTech uses the open-source Tesseract.js library in the browser. The library, OCR engine and selected language data are downloaded from a public CDN when needed, so an internet connection is required for the first run. Standard hosting/CDN traffic limits and the user's device performance still apply.
