1. Use a clear source image
Crop out unrelated content, keep the roster straight and use the highest readable resolution. Avoid glare, shadows and motion blur.
2. Check the detected worker and dates
Confirm that the correct row or name was selected and that every date belongs to the expected month and year.
3. Review every start and end time
Pay special attention to overnight shifts, 12-hour/24-hour formats, split shifts and abbreviations that the roster uses.
4. Remove uncertain results
Import only shifts you can verify. Fix duplicates and manually add anything OCR could not read.
