How do I get more accurate scans?

Recognition is reading the artwork, the name and the card number. Anything that obscures those — glare, a steep angle, a cropped edge — makes it work harder.

1. Lay the card flat rather than holding it at an angle.
2. Fill most of the frame with the card, with all four corners visible.
3. Turn the card so glare falls off the artwork — tilting a few degrees usually clears it.
4. Use even, indirect light. Overhead spotlights are the usual culprit. In a dim room use the flash button at the top of the scanner — it only appears on devices whose browser lets a web page control the light.
5. Keep still for a moment once the frame locks on.
