loglUI chrome adds noise. Cropping to the code region helps a lot.
Quick tips
- Crop tight. Remove UI bars, side panels, and borders.
- Boost contrast. Black text on white background still wins.
- Prefer printed text over handwriting when accuracy matters.
- For receipts, post-process numbers. OCR can split digits across lines.
