Fix low-quality OCR before approval
Some pages are not worth auto-processing twice—know when a new photo beats another automated pass.
Outcome you are aiming for
Some pages are not worth auto-processing twice—know when a new photo beats another automated pass.
Preconditions
- Source photos or screenshots are readable enough to justify OCR.
- You can spend time on a review pass—this workflow is not one-click magic.
- You know which language context applies (Thai layouts).
Step-by-step workflow
- Upload the pages you already trust as study material.
- Let extraction propose draft cards from the capture.
- Edit fronts, backs, readings, and tags until each card is unambiguous.
- Reject weak cards instead of letting them pollute the deck.
- Approve a tight batch, then continue with the next capture when ready.
- Export approved cards when you want a portable Anki package.
QA checklist
- Every card has a clear question and a single best answer.
- Readings and tone marks match your learning standard.
- Duplicates and near-duplicates are merged or removed.
Troubleshooting
- Blurry photos: recapture with steadier lighting before re-running extraction.
- Mixed scripts: split cards so each tests one decision.
- Too many new cards: lower weekly intake so reviews stay honest.
