Try out the app with other text to see how the OCR results vary between sources and download more language data as needed.

You can also train Tesseract to further improve its output. After all, if you’re capable of deciphering characters using your eyes or ears or even fingertips, you’re a certifiable expert at character recognition already and are fully capable of teaching your computer so much more than it already knows.
