Introducing AI Polish: Fix OCR Errors With One Click

The problem with OCR text

Every OCR engine makes mistakes. Handwritten notes come back with “rn” instead of “m”. Scanned receipts confuse “0” with “O”. Old documents produce garbled words where characters bleed together. You spend more time fixing the output than you saved by not typing it manually.

These aren’t random errors — they’re predictable patterns. Character confusion follows rules: “cl” becomes “d”, “l” becomes “1”, “vv” becomes “w”. An AI that sees both the original image and the extracted text can fix these systematically.

How AI Polish works

After extracting text from your image, click the AI Polish button. FastOCR sends both your original image and the OCR text to a multimodal AI model. The model cross-references what it sees in the image with what the OCR engine produced, fixing errors that are obvious when you can see the source.

The entire process takes 2-3 seconds. You get back corrected text with every change highlighted, plus a confidence score telling you how much was modified.

What it fixes

• •Character confusion: rn→m, cl→d, 0→O, l→1, vv→w
• •Broken words from line breaks or poor scan quality
• •Missing or doubled spaces between words
• •Lost punctuation and formatting

AI Polish preserves all numbers, dates, and proper nouns exactly as they appear. A validation gate rejects any correction that changes more than 15% of words or alters numeric data — preventing hallucination.

Pricing
