3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
OCRmyPDF includes powerful image processing capabilities to improve scan quality before OCR. These tools help fix skewed pages, remove noise, clean borders, and enhance readability.
For core OCR functionality, see the ocrmypdf skill. For optimization and PDF/A options, see ocrmypdf-optimize. For batch/Docker/scripting, see ocrmypdf-batch.
Deskew corrects pages that are slightly rotated (e.g., from feed scanner skew).
# Auto deskew (recommended)
ocrmypdf --deskew input.pdf output.pdf
# Force deskew even if rotation is minimal
ocrmypdf --deskew --force-ocr input.pdf output.pdf
Rotate pages to correct upside-down or sideways scans:
# Auto-rotate based on text orientation
ocrmypdf --rotate-pages input.pdf output.pdf
# Force rotate all pages
ocrmypdf --rotate-pages --force-ocr input.pdf output.pdf
Remove unwanted borders, artifacts, and noise from scanned pages:
# Remove borders (dots, solid borders)
ocrmypdf --remove-bordering input.pdf output.pdf
# Combine with cleanup
ocrmypdf --remove-bordering --clean input.pdf output.pdf
Remove speckles and isolated noise pixels:
# Remove speckles
ocrmypdf --despeckle input.pdf output.pdf
# Aggressive despeckle for very noisy scans
ocrmypdf --despeckle --clean input.pdf output.pdf
unpaper provides advanced post-processing:
# Apply unpaper with default settings
ocrmypdf --unpaper input.pdf output.pdf
# Custom unpaper board options
ocrmypdf --unpaper-args "--board A4" input.pdf output.pdf
Increase image resolution before OCR for better accuracy:
# Oversample to 300 DPI before OCR
ocrmypdf --oversample 300 input.pdf output.pdf
# Common for low-resolution scans
ocrmypdf --oversample 400 input.pdf output.pdf
ocrmypdf --deskew --remove-bordering --despeckle scanned.pdf fixed.pdf
ocrmypdf --deskew --rotate-pages --despeckle --clean --oversample 300 noisy.pdf clean.pdf
ocrmypdf --remove-bordering --unpaper --despeckle dirty.pdf clean.pdf

Use when the user wants to scaffold a new uni-app project, initialize project files with a single command, or set up the development environment.
tools
Browses, installs, configures, and manages plugins from the uni-app plugin market (ext.dcloud.net.cn) including component plugins, API plugins, and template plugins with dependency handling. Use when the user needs to find and install uni-app plugins, configure plugin settings, manage plugin dependencies, or integrate third-party components.
tools
Develops native Android and iOS plugins for uni-app including module creation, JavaScript-to-native communication, and plugin packaging for distribution. Use when the user needs to build custom native modules, extend uni-app with native capabilities (camera, Bluetooth, sensors), or create publishable native plugins.
