 == About Grooper's Image Processing Software ==
 Regardless of how good an [[OCR Engine]] is, OCR is very rarely perfect.  Characters can be segmented out from words wrong.  Artifacts such as table lines, check boxes or even just specks from image noise can interfere with character segmenting and character recognition.  Even when they are segmented out correctly, the OCR engine's character recognition can make the wrong decision about what the character is.
