Is the OCR not working? Is this normal?

First of all, it is important to check if you have activated the OCR in your Rocketbook application. It is an option that requires authorization.

Just select a destination -> then “Handwriting recognition” -> then “on”.

Warning: OCR will then only be activated for the chosen destination. If you want to use it on another destination, you will have to repeat the same process. 

The OCR depends greatly on the readability of the written text. The more legible your letters and sentences are, the better the OCR will work.
