What to do if not all characters were scanned correctly?

If not all characters were scanned or they were scanned incorrectly, change the 'thresh' value when uploading the template.

thresh - is used to detect the black color in the image. The higher the value, the more black will be detected.

If the letters are not scanned completely, then set the value higher, but not exceeding 170.

If you have unwanted elements in the photo (margins, grids, rulers on the page), then set the value to 15-30.
