⚠️ Accuracy notice: OCR results are AI-generated estimates and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, especially for handwriting, low-quality scans, or dense documents. For medical, legal, research, or any other high-stakes use, always have a qualified human review and verify the extracted text against the original image before relying on it.
