How to Revert an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Font in Mac

====================================================================================

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a powerful tool used for extracting text from images. However, sometimes after using OCR software, the font may not revert back to its original state, leading to distorted or blurry text on your screen.

If you're facing this issue with an OCR application on your Mac device and are looking for ways to resolve it, then worry no more! In this article, we'll guide you through some simple steps that will help you revert the OCR font in Mac back to its default state without any further ado.

Method 1: Using Font Book

---------------------

Font Book is a built-in application on your Mac device that allows you to manage and view all installed fonts. Here's how to use it:

1. Open the Applications folder.

2. Double-click on 'Utilities' or simply type 'utilities' in Spotlight and click on the result.

3. Once inside, double-click on 'Font Book.'

4. In the new window that opens up, navigate through the left-hand sidebar until you reach the 'Fonts' section.

5. Right-click (or Control+click) anywhere within this area then select 'Show Fonts' from the context menu.

'Image: Show fonts option'

6. A new window will now appear displaying all installed fonts on your Mac device along with their corresponding sizes and styles.

7. To revert back to default settings, click on 'Reset' at the top-right corner of this window.

8. Confirm that you want to reset all font preferences by clicking 'OK'.

Method 2: Using System Preferences

------------------------------

If Method 1 doesn't work for some reason or if you're looking for alternative solutions, then don't worry! You can also try resetting your system's general settings using the following steps:

1. Click on 'System Preferences' from either the Dock or by pressing Command + Shift + >.

2. In the new window that opens up, select 'General'.

3. Scroll down until you see an option labeled as 'Text' and click it.

4. Uncheck all boxes under this section except for 'Correct spelling'. This will automatically reset any current OCR font settings back to their default state.

5. Click 'OK' at the bottom-right corner of the window once done.

Method 3 (Last Resort): Reinstalling Your Operating System

-------------------------------------------------------------

If neither Method 1 nor Method 2 has resolved your issue, then it might be time for a more drastic measure: reinstalling your operating system from scratch! Here's how to do this:

Important

1. Restart your Mac by pressing Command + Shift + >.

2. When prompted to select a startup disk or recovery mode option from the boot menu, press 'Shift' while holding down both Control keys simultaneously until you see 'Recovery Mode' appear at the top of this screen.

3. From here, click on 'Disk Utility'.

4. Select your main hard drive (usually labeled as 'Macintosh HD') and then select 'Erase'.

5. Confirm that you want to erase all data from this device by clicking 'Continue'. This will wipe clean everything including installed apps, user accounts etc., so proceed with caution!

6. Once the erasure process is complete, follow on-screen instructions to reinstall macOS onto your Macbook Pro/Air/MacBook.

So there you have it! By following these simple steps outlined above, you should now be able to easily revert an OCR font back to its default state in Mac without any further hassle. Remember always to backup important files before attempting any system changes as they can sometimes lead to loss of data if not done properly.
