How do I convert a picture to text from Windows 11?
When you convert pic to text on Windows 11, ensure that the image is not too low resolution. The lower the resolution, the less detail the software can capture, resulting in errors.
Blurred, low-resolution, or heavily compressed images are difficult for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to read. If the text is small or the image is grainy, the conversion might be inaccurate or incomplete. Take a clear, high-quality picture, ideally with good lighting. Images that are not straight or have been rotated excessively will confuse the OCR software, potentially leading to distorted or incorrect text. Ensure the image is properly oriented.
