OCR accuracy depends on the quality of the image. Clear images with sharp printed text usually produce better results. If the JPG is blurry, too dark, heavily compressed, cropped, or taken at an angle, some words may need manual correction after conversion.
For better results, upload a high-resolution image with good lighting, straight alignment, and clearly visible text. Printed text is usually easier to extract than handwriting, but handwritten JPG images can still work if the writing is clear.
