OCR is an imperfect process, although it has certainly improved over the years. It still REQUIRES human proofreading, especially for court documents.

It also very much depends on the quality of the original scan. The more stray marks, the more anomalies in the text.



There are different OCR engines out there. Try different ones. Word does not have an internal OCR engine.
