Limitations

1. If the uploaded contacts file is an image, the font size in the file should be greater than 18.
2. If the name is drawn from the card The resulting image must be clear. There is enough light. The distance from the camera is not too much or too little.
3. Shiny cards, such as ID cards, should not be photographed with too much shadow. Because the program will not capture text that has shadows. (Corrected with the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) technique to adjust the light in the image better)
4. The quality of the camera also affects the capture of names.
