I received a scanned [invoice] from a supplier and need line items extracted into our budget sheet today. The scan is skewed and partly handwritten. I’m worried automated OCR will misread quantities and corrupt the budget. Tell me how reliable an OCR pass will be on this file, which parts to correct manually, and give me the exact steps to produce a selectable, reviewable text layer that I can confidently pull numbers from.
