## Workflow

1. Compare the recognized result with the original note.
2. Check names, dates, numbers, formulas, and headings.
3. Correct missing or substituted words.
4. Read the final text once for meaning.
5. Continue to organization or summary.

## When to recapture instead

If errors appear on most lines, improve the source image and scan again. Correction is best for isolated mistakes, not for rebuilding an unreadable page.
