- Skewed documents
- Documents written in languages other than the specified language for text recogni-
tion
- Documents including texts written in Italic characters
- Superscript/subscript letters and complex mathematical formulas

e.g. Shaded characters
- Documents with many decorated characters
e.g. Decorated characters (embossed/outlined)
