Recommended Quality for Documents

The quality for a document can vary according to how it was created. Xtracta can retrieve data from those documents, but to achieve consistent results, these are the best recommendations when uploading documents:

  • Colored and Grey scaled Documents:
    Grey scale is usually the most common type of document, as it is lighter. For Xtracta, both types are accepted.

  • Black and White:
    For black and white scanned documents, the pixelization will cause problems when retrieving data.

  • Resolution:
    300 DPI is the recommended resolution for documents to be uploaded. Xtracta will accept lower-resolution documents, but during extraction, it might cause characters to be misread.

  • Placement:
    When placing documents on the scanner, the best position is straight. If the document is not straight, Xtracta is able to correct skew to a certain level.

  • Zoom:
    Avoid using the zoom on the scanner. Scan the document as it is for consistency.

  • Others:
    Crumpled documents will cause problems when retrieving data. Avoid using documents with borders if possible.
