Prepare the source and define the result
List critical names, codes, dates, totals and headings. Preserve raw recognition because silent corrections can hide uncertainty.
Set acceptance criteria before processing: expected pages or records, languages, critical fields and destination format.
Use a reviewable OCR workflow
Address uncertain words, then reading order and paragraph boundaries. Use global replacement only for repeated, unambiguous errors.
Keep recognition evidence beside the source. Confidence prioritizes review but does not guarantee a word or number.
Verify before using the output
Read corrected text alone to expose broken order, then compare critical details. Reopen the DOCX and confirm styles and page breaks.
Keep the original until the reviewed derivative is accepted. Valid structure does not prove semantic accuracy.
- Spellcheck can corrupt valid names.
- Confidence is a review signal, not a guarantee.
Put the workflow into practice
Arrange source documents, select the pages you need, and create one PDF locally in your browser. Review the result before choosing any optional next step.
