Why isn't my scan read correctly?

At a glance

• Text recognition runs page by page, whenever a page has hardly any text of its own.
• Such files carry the note Read with OCR. Check numbers, names and dates there with extra care.
• If a page already has text, CASUS doesn't also read the images on that page.

How it works

1. 1
   Scan straight, at 300 dpi or more, in black and white or greyscale.
2. 2
   If the PDF has a password, open it in your PDF program, remove the password and save it again.
3. 3
   Upload the file again.

If it doesn't work

If CASUS says “No text was found on the scanned pages”, the scan is too pale or blurry. Scan it again. If a good scan isn't read either, write to us.
