Five Tips for Better Recipe Scans
Get crisp OCR every time, even from faded notes.
1) Natural light. A sunlit kitchen table beats overhead bulbs every time.
2) Flatten the card. Curled corners confuse OCR — a heavy book on each corner does the trick.
3) Shoot top-down. Tilted images warp letters; phones autocorrect, AI does not.
4) Crop tightly. Background clutter steals attention from the text.
5) Multi-page recipes? Scan each page separately and we'll stitch them for you.
