## Document Variations to Handle

1. **Handwritten prescriptions** - Some doctors still write by hand
2. **Multilingual documents** - Bills might be in English + regional language
3. **Different layouts** - Each hospital has unique bill format
4. **Quality issues** - Faded prints, photos taken at angles
5. **Multiple pages** - Long bills might span multiple pages
6. **Stamps and signatures** - May be overlapping text
7. **Corrections** - Manual corrections with pen
8. **Partial documents** - Sometimes users submit incomplete docs

## Tips for Creating Test Documents

1. Use tools like:
   - HTML/CSS to create bill layouts
   - Canvas API to add signatures/stamps
   - Python libraries (PIL, ReportLab) for PDF generation
   - Add realistic noise/blur for testing OCR

2. Create at least 20-30 different document variations to test your system thoroughly

3. Include edge cases:
   - Bills with multiple patients (family)
   - Partial payments
   - Cancelled items
   - Refunds
   - Package deals

4. Consider creating a document generator function that can create variations automatically
